"Rights" are a product of a law. A law determines how we have to behave and how we cant; a right tells you how others should and shouldnt behave and act towards you.

The Law is written and the Right is something you believe you have. Then you challenge the Law to prove that you got the Right. The Law varies from country to country. Many have suffered persecution in the past to make Rights protected by Law. We enjoy many Rights because of those who chose to be martyrs for a cause IE imprisonment, torture or death.

The Law is a text that specifies the rights and duties of a citizen (and other things of course).

You have the right to vote, the right to receive proper education at schools and universities, and u have the duty to stop at the traffic lights, to cross the road at some specific points, etc...

You can choose whether or not to practice your rights. But u MUST abide by your duties, otherwise you will have to face a penalty (also specified by the Law).

right is painless, it hurts nobody. in theory law is there to protect the right, wrong inflicts some form of damage against self or outhers. the law begins to collaps when it starts to favour the wrong over the right. and the law becomes corrupt as it now is.
fiddle
theres a new fiddle in law where the police charge the innocent instead of the guilty, this is a fiddle for lawyers to get paid twice, the innocent may be found innocent but then they have to prosecute the giulty in order to clear their name properly, then the guilty may be found giulty. but the lawyers are making money on the case twice instead of once. if the giulty is charged first, then there will only be one case. also for the police to arrest the innocent first it changes good to evil and evil to good, which ruins the law. if the innocent cant afford a lawyer then he will probably loose, and the giulty get away with it. thats the punishment for not having enough money to shower on the lawyers.

To a large extent what is lawful behaviour is also what is right, or moral, behaviour -- for instance, both the law and one's sense of right and wrong will say that it is wrong to steal, to attack people, to slander people and to make excessive noise at night so neighbours can't sleep.

However, there are some forms of behaviour which, while not being unlawful, are not morally right. One example is greed: i.e. helping oneself to so much of something that there is not enough for other people. Another example is spiteful gossip which falls short of slander, but which makes another person's life wretched. A further example is selfishness: putting one's own interests before other people and pushing other people aside to get what one wants.

There are many other such examples, but the basic differences between the law and one's moral code, which one has learned from one's parents, one's education and one's religious beliefs, is that if a person breaks the law, then he can expect to be punished for what he has done by society and if he breaks his moral code, i.e. does something which is contrary to his conscience, he does not make himself liable to punishment by society (although he may find himself shunned by his acquaintances as a person whom it is not good to know!).

Whats law is legal and can be used in a court, whats right is a matter of principle and opinion. Unfortunately at the moment, what certain people think is right seems to be listenened to and adhered to more than what is actually law! Sad really!

Law is what the government deem to be right and Right is what the general public think should be Law.

Law - thing made by man to have a right life
Right - is something not objective, it's more like an atitude, it's what you think to be right or not.

The law says you must pay council tax. You have a right to apply for support from the government to pay your council tax.

Law is easy. "Right" is hard which law doesn't always provide.
