right: "a moral or legal entitlement to have or obtain something or to act in a certain way."  Yes, I do know what a "right" is and, in relation to our government we have the right to do those things which are not "outlawed" by statute.  Those "rights" are also often limited in specific fashion, including specific requirements which must be met in order to exercise them.  The absence of governmental involvement in defining such rights is called "anarchy."
