Right

Read a random definition: ex aequo et bono

A quick definition of Right:

Right: A rule that says people can do something or have something because it is fair and allowed by the law. It can also mean that someone has the ability to ask for something they deserve because of an agreement or event. Sometimes, people just know what is right and wrong based on what is good and fair, even if there is no law that says so.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A right is a power or privilege that is given to the public by the law. It can also be a legally enforceable claim that someone has because of a specific event or transaction. Additionally, a right can refer to a situation or decision that is considered proper or correct based on legal, moral, or ethical ideals.

  • Freedom of speech is a right that is protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
  • If you sign a contract with someone, you have the right to expect them to fulfill their obligations under the contract.
  • Many people believe that it is right to treat others with kindness and respect, even if there is no law that requires them to do so.

The first example illustrates a right that is protected by the law. The second example shows how a right can arise from a specific agreement between two parties. The third example demonstrates how a right can be based on moral or ethical principles, even if it is not legally enforceable.

@windyMagician: not at all. Michigan is also very generous with aid, so if you get enough it makes perfect sense to take it.

I’m sure you’ll get good merit aid though. Look at Michigan’s 509 report. They’re very generous.
