Know how to establish which individuals or which sub groups, specific rights are to apply.

Knowledge Node Summary

In some cases, rights in a society will apply to all of the members of that society. In other cases, rights may be intended to apply to a sub group, a small group or just a few members of that society. For instance, in the UK, the monarch has rights that most people do not have in the society. It may also be useful to be able to establish under what circumstances rights that have been granted, could ever be forfeited by members of the society. For instance, capital punishment means that the right to life, that a person has taken from another, is then removed from the person committing the crime.
