There is no verb in either sentence. You have to have a verb for it to be a sentence.

Neither are complete sentences--that is the first problem. However, the word "posterity" usually isn't used with an article, like "the" or "a".

Your first sentence is incorrect twice: grammatically is misspelled and the word "right" should be replaced with the word "correct." An answer above me is favorable, stating that "posterity" usually is not preceded by articles "the" and "a," although they could be used to accent or emphasize a point otherwise missed.

this is not a complete sentence actually. it is just a phrase.
however, the second phrase demonstrates how the word posterity is commonly used.

The 2nd one is right.
You don't need to use "the" before posterity.
