Definition of substantial right

A substantial right is a legal or moral claim that is due to a person by just claim, legal guarantee, or moral principle. It is a power, privilege, or immunity secured to a person by law. Violation of a substantial right is considered a wrong and can be legally enforced.

Examples of substantial rights include:

  • The right to personal liberty
  • The right to own property
  • The right to dispose of one's estate
  • The right to publish

These examples illustrate that substantial rights are important legal and moral claims that are protected by law and can be enforced through legal proceedings. They are fundamental to individual freedom and autonomy.

Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on.

Simple Definition

A substantial right is something that a person is entitled to by law, morality, or ethics. It can be a power, privilege, or immunity that is protected by law, like the right to own property or the right to freedom. A right is like a promise that someone will do or not do something, and if they break that promise, it is considered wrong. Some rights are absolute, which means they cannot be taken away, while others are conditional, meaning they depend on certain conditions being met.
