Question: Explain the difference between human rights and legal rights. (4 marks)
Human rights are universal principles that belong to everyone simply because they are human. They apply from birth regardless of where you live, such as the right to life. In contrast, legal rights are specific rights written down in the laws of a country. This means they are enforceable in courts, like the UK right to a minimum wage.
While human rights are inherent, universal entitlements possessed by virtue of birth (such as freedom from torture), legal rights are statutory protections fortified by the state. Consequently, legal rights such as the right to a fair trial are strictly enforceable within a nation's legal system, whereas human rights may exist in principle but lack enforcement in dictatorships.
Question: Explain how the Equality Act 2010 turns human rights principles into legal protections. (4 marks)
The Act turns principles into protection by identifying nine specific 'protected characteristics' such as age, race, and disability. This makes it explicitly illegal to discriminate against anyone based on these traits. Furthermore, it provides a legal remedy for victims. This means a victim can take an employer to a Tribunal to sue for compensation if they are treated unfairly.
The Act codifies the abstract principle of equality by establishing nine 'protected characteristics'—including race and gender—thereby rendering discrimination in the workplace not just morally wrong, but legally actionable. This allows victims to seek specific legal remedies, such as taking an employer to an Employment Tribunal to enforce their right to fair treatment.
Question: Explain two examples of how human rights have been made into legal rights in the UK. (4 marks)
One example is the human right to education, which is a legal right under the Education Act. This law compels the government to provide schools and requires parents to ensure attendance. A second example is the right to a fair standard of living, protected by the National Minimum Wage Act. This makes it a legal requirement for employers to pay a set hourly rate.
The abstract human right to a fair standard of living has been concretized in the UK through the National Minimum Wage Act, which legally mandates a baseline income for all employees. Similarly, the Human Rights Act 1998 integrates the European Convention into UK law, allowing judges to rule on breaches of fundamental rights, such as the right to a fair trial, directly in British courts.
Question: Explain the different roles of local councillors and Members of Parliament (MPs). (4 marks)
Local councillors are elected to represent a small ward and deal with local services. For example, they make decisions about bin collections, parks, and planning permission. In contrast, MPs are elected to represent a larger constituency in the House of Commons. Their role involves debating national laws that affect the whole country, like the budget.
The distinction lies primarily in scope and legislative power: Local Councillors administer municipal services like waste management within a specific ward, whereas MPs scrutinize government policy and enact primary legislation affecting the entire sovereign state within the House of Commons.
Question: Explain how citizens can participate in government both directly and indirectly. (4 marks)
Direct participation involves citizens taking personal action to influence decision-makers. This could be done by going on a protest march or signing a petition to change a law. Indirect participation is when citizens choose others to make decisions for them. The main example is voting in a General Election to choose an MP who speaks for you in Parliament.
Citizens participate directly by bypassing representatives to influence change personally, such as through boycotts, strikes, or pressure groups. In contrast, indirect participation operates through the representative mechanism of the ballot box, surrendering decision-making power to an elected official who acts on the citizen's behalf.
Question: Explain why political rights are important in a democracy. (4 marks)
Political rights are crucial because they give citizens a voice to hold the government to account. Without the vote, citizens could not remove a bad government. Secondly, rights like freedom of speech prevent dictatorship. This ensures different opinions are heard and the government cannot hide its actions.
Political rights are the bedrock of democratic accountability, empowering the electorate to peacefully remove an administration that fails to serve the public interest. Furthermore, rights such as freedom of speech ensure a marketplace of ideas, preventing the monopoly of truth and suppression of opposition often seen in dictatorships.
Human rights is what a human has as soon as they enter enter the world. Human rights & could be the right to live or the right to an education. The human rights do not have to be followed by the person. A legal right is a right that has to be followed by everyone and is not an option.
The equallity act 2010 turned human rights principles by realising that the humo some human rights were serious. Now it is illegal to discriminate individuals as they turned into legal protections. An example of the legal rights protections is the 9 protected characteristics. These include disability gender, race and age. if someone at work were to fire you because of race or discriminated you, you are allowed to take that employer to court.
One way human rights have been made into legal rights in the uk is by the equality act in 2010. As the goverment realise that some human rights were important. Another way could be is because of citizens protest and votes. People may have been angry that there provected characteristics were not considered so they had a protest in order to charge it.
Local councillors are people individuals who volunteer to help that certain area to get better by social, economic stuff. Local councillors do not get paid as they volunteer to help. Members of parliaments play a much bigger role as the partly look after the whole country while getting paid (you cannot volunteer for this job unless you have good documents)
Citizens can participate /help the gaverment directly by volunteering to be a local council(or) as you are helping areas and the goverment doesnt need to spend time too much on that place. Another way you can help directly is to keep areas safe and not cause problems. One way you can help indirectly is voting for the next goverment as soon as possible so they dont take ages picking one
political rights are important in a domocracy is so if anything is taken to court things are fair and we relay on the laws
Human rights are universial rights anyone should have just by being human. This could include the right to not be tortured, the right to life etc. Legal rights is what the Government or the individuals in power grant to the average person. For example citizens have the right to vote, the right to not be sexually harrassed etc.
The 2010 Equality Act turns human rights principals into legal protections by the Nine Protected Characteristics. This is be cause in Law you can not discriminate against age, gender, maternity and paternity, etc. This is further protected in law by the rights you have in other places. For example if someone does not hire you because you are perhaps a female you can legally take them to court and sue so you can get compensated.
An example of how human rights have been made into legal rights is by the Human Rights Act (1998) This gave out human rights like the freedom of speech, right to vote etc. Another way this is present is from the 2010 equality act. This can be seen when they introduced the Nine Protected Characteristics which protected diffrent types of people from prejudice. Some examples are Age, Race, Gender etc.
The diffrences that the local cobncillors and the Mps have is the roles. The role of a local councillor is to decide and discuss ways that they can locally improve the social, economic and environmental things around them. For example a family may complain that their door locks are too weak so the councillor could help with it. An MP votes and decides on diffrent laws. For example people (A lot of people) could sign a petition and the government would legally have to debate it and if Majority and the government agrees, its in.
Citizens can participate in government directly is by Voting. This is because they are deciding who should be in power. For example, Voting for a PM such as Rishi Sunak directly participates because it could decide who gains power in government. A way citizens can indirectly participate in government is by existing complaints issues. For example if some high ranking government official was caught doing illegal things with proof it could indirectly get them kicked (e.g video gaining popularity)
political rights are important to ensure a fair democratic country. For example freedom of speech and to vote is important as it could prevent power going into the wrong hands by deciding who or who desent go in power. Another reason why is to prevent a dictatorship. For example if the leader said "No one can vote" the nation could be stuck with a ruthless and terrible leader that has no idea what they are doing and could ruin a nation and lead to riots
One key difference to legal rights and human rights, Are, that human rights Allows people to have rights. But in the Legal Rights they say that people in companys can have rights.
The 2010 Act Allows human rights to be A legal protected was be cause of the Amount of unfair treatment they got with others, Racism, Sexism, and Ageism. All on the Same level they protested allowing it to be Abolished
My First example is the fact that other people now get fair wages and fair time of work. The second reason is that people now have One to you taken it on have an contract
The differene roles they have is that they get to make Different Desicions for there country And they Allow Human Rights And legal Rights to be a law of the UK.
They have Democratic choices and they get to pick their leader, And people can also Run to be in government. This allows them to participate directly and indirectly.
In A democracy, Political rights is ensure this is because A democracy is A Political right. This is important because without Political Rights Democracy would not even be a thing.
Human Rights are given to every human at birth. Legal rights are given to people in a Country or State and Can be different For each Country / State.
it made it So if you didn't Obey or if you took away a persons human rights you Could Face punishment.
I don't know
Local Counselors Can Solve local issues Small Scale Scale local issues. MPs Solve wider issues on a Much larger Scale.
Can vote for the prime minister and Could Collect Signatures on the governments website So MPs Consider their opinion.
So everyone has their voice heard
Human rights and legal rights are rights that protect you are protected by law - For example, you have the right to food and shelter which means however low rights are more to do with protection in court. For example, a right to a free trial is a right that protects you from being prosecuted.
The Equality Act turns human rights into legal protections through Polc i.e For instance, if Stopped by a member of police you must be treated with dignity. It is by protecting certain characteristics. for example skin tone, age, sex, marriage and pregnancy and more.
One way human rights have been made into legal rights is by the equality act. This is evident as for example if getting stopped by police you must be read Also the equality act protects characteristics / human rights such as who you vote.
First of all a local council members role is to support their local community by for example, they build parks and entertainment. However, the role of an MP is to carry your suggestions to Westminster / the Prime Minister to enforce it.
An indirect way a citizen could participate in government by filling out a census. A census helps the government gather info... Countries population and diversity. Another way... is by voting for their prime minister of choice.
Firstly, Political rights are important in a democracy to ensure that people can have a say on what laws they should construct governing. Another reason why they are important is because it ensures safety for people who utilise their right to freedom of speech making sure you can speak freely and safely!
The difference between a human right and a legal right is that a human right is something everyone is entitled to and a legal right is something that goes by the law an example of this is that a human right is that you should not be tortured but a legal right is backed up with the fact that you can't remain in a police station for more than 24 hours
The equality act 2010 turns human rights principles into legal protection through the 9 protected characteristics this is because the governments has chosen to protect the following characteristics and anyone who speaks against will be punished. Another way is that when someone gets arrested they can only be stay at the police station for 24 hours because it is in the human rights to not be tortured and keeping them there will be a form of torturing
An example of this is when you are in court you are read your rights so that you can understand what you are allowed to to do or say. A nother example is that if someone gets arrested they can't stay in a police station for more than 24 hours because it is against the human right.
Local councillors don't have discussions in the house of parliament whereas members of parliament take part in those discussions Another difference in their roles is that local councillors represent the rules they want implaced and the membes of parleament debate on whether the rules get passed out to everyone.
Citizens participate by electing the people who are in the government This is because the UK is a democratic country where you can have a say in the government. A way Citizens can participate indirectly is that they can request for new laws which will be up for the next country leader to decide upon in the next elections
Political rights are important in a democracy because they allow
A human right is a right that everybody is given from birth. For example the right to play is a human right. Legal rights however, are rights that are protected by law. For example, protected characteristics are legal rights.
The equality act of 2010 turns human rights principles into legal protections as it means that it is illegal to discriminate people based on certain characteristics. For example, the nine protected characteristics prevent you from discrimination.
One way people have done this is through the protected characteristics. For example, if someone won't employ you because of your religion, you can take employer to court and sue them
Local councillors are the people you go to for local issues. For example, if there is an issue with a lamp-post in your neighbourhood, you inform them. MPs however, are the people that represent your view in court [Parliament]. For example, you MPs will adress more serious issues in court
Citizens can participate directly in government by getting elected as an MP. This lets you have the opportunity to adress issues freely. They can also help Indirectly by voting. This lets them decide who they want in charge
Political rights are important in a democracy. This is because they keep the government fair and non biased, letting everyone feel safe in a society
Human rights are rights that everyone has when they are born. For example the right to play, right to education and others. However, these rights are put into place but aren't really followed and legal. On the other hand, Legal rights are rights which has to be followed and if it isn't you can be arrested or held accountable in prison.
The Equality Act 2010 turns human right principles into legal protections as it means that it is illegal for individuals or organisations to discriminate someone based on specific and certain attributes. These are know as the 9 protected characteristics which consists of things such as your age, gender and disability
One example of how human rights have been made into legal rights in the UK is how everyone has to be treated the minimum wage, this has been made into legal rights as no matter what gender, sex, disabilitys or illness you have, you must be paid the minimum wage which is said to be £13 in the UK. Another example is that you have the right to freedom of speech. This has been made into a legal right as you can say whatever you want without getting into trouble
The roles of members of parliament is to represent voters on what they want and try and make it become a law or become legal. The role of a local councillor is to help local citizens with help or what they are finding trouble with for example if your door is broken you can go to them and they will help get someone to fix it and solve the problem
Citizens can participate in government both directly and indirectly as our country is democratica. This allows us to have a say in how our area is run by voting. Voting can be done directly put by like when you have the option to vote for a new prime minister or something. This can be done directly as you can put your vote in a ballot or indirectly by voting online however there is a huge risk of getting hacked or it being corrupted.
Political rights are important in a democracy as you wouldn't be able to vote without it and democracy is mainly about having a say on how everything runs. This is important as it allows you to talk about which government or Prime Minister you want.
Human rights apply to every human no matter who. Legal rights are rights that some people have by law and they vary.
The equality Act 2010 turns human right principles into legal protections because all humans have human rights by law.
two human right like freedom of Speech have been made legal right in the UK and so as right to freedom from slavery by the government imposing their law.
Local councillors are volunteers and they represent boroughs. Members of parliament are elected and they represent boroughs.
Citizens can participate by voting at polling stations and they can also participate directly by going to the house of commons.
Political rights are important in a democracy to ensure you are safe, especially freedom of speech as it stops people being targeted or assassinated.
The difference between human rights and legal rights is that human rights... are something that everyone has and... legal rights are a set of rights Someone has but are minimised.
locan councillors do voluntary work whereas Members of Parliament get paid for deciding new rules and rights.
Citizens can get go to their local MP and raise an issue. That issue will then be raised in the house of commons. If approved... raised to house of Lords. If approved in house of Lords, it gets raised to the monarch and they have to Sign it.
Note: Questions 2, 3 and 6 were not attempted or legible.
human rights is a law in which every person has and cannot be taken from them... for example the right to education... legal rights are rights people have to follow how to control human rights for example right of speech but the legal right is you can't speak bad about the King.
the equality Act turns human rights principles into legal protection by making everyone equal and there being no favouritism then everybody would have the same consequences and result for bad things.
the right of speech turned into a legal right by not being allowed to speak bad about the King or places like Buckingham Palace.
local councillors are people that listen to complains or new ideas to local civillians and the only thing they can actually do is change things in local areas and MP's are the ones who filter To people all around the borough and further and also are allowed to change more things like making laws and passing them.
Citizens can participate in government indirectly by voting and choosing who is next governor, and directly by using the right of speech and making a protest against government. and potentially win.
Political rights are important in democracy because political right set different rights to control democracy and keep it equal.
Human rights are rights that are declared by countries which every human has... however not every country recognises them. A legal right is a right that is recognised legally and enforced by law. For example, Equality Act 2010 protected people from being unfairly discriminated protecting many human rights.
The Equality Act 2010 turned human rights into legal protections by banning unfair discrimination. For example it blocked people from being fired because of a protected characteristic. Another way it protected people was it prevented discrimination. It made it illegal to refuse services based on a characteristic.
One example of how human rights was made into a legal right was the Equality Act 2010. this prevented people from being unfairly discriminated against. Another example of how human rights were made into legal rights was the right to marriage for lgbt. Before many gay people weren't allowed to marry, now they are.
Local councillors roles are to take on small and local tasks or issues around the area. For example if your bin was stolen you would go to a local councillor. Mps however decide on things that affect the country and others. They tackle national issues or tasks like inflation, deportation etc.
Citizens can directly participate in government by running for a high position. This would allow them to... decide on tasks that directly affect the country. Citizens can also indirectly participate in government by voting. This would allow them to indirectly influence how the country is run as they pick with who they align with.
Political rights are important in democracy as without them the country couldn't be a full democracy. For example without the right to a secret vote many people simply wouldn't vote fearing persecution. Another example is the right to run for office. Without this right only some people would be allowed to run preventing a full democracy.
Human rights are rights that protect you and are protected by law. For example, you have the right to shelter, which means the law must provide you with shelter if you are not able to do so. Legal rights are rights that protect you from the law. For example, if you are arrested by police, you will have your rights read.
The Equality Act Act turns human rights into legal protections through police interactions. For example when you are arrested, you will have your rights read. Another way the Equality Act turns human rights principles into legal protections is by protecting your 9 characteristics. For example, if you have the right to a religion, no-one can violate it as it's one of your 9 characteristics.
An example of how human rights have been made into legal rights is through police interactions. This means that if you are arrested, you will have your rights read. Another example of how human rights have been made into legal rights is through the Equality Act. This means that if somebody violates your right to religion, they can be lawfully punished.
The role of a local councillor is someone who governs a small area in a city, making little changes. This means they contain no control over any other area or any priority over it. However, the role of a Member of Parliament is someone who discusses in the House of Commons and helps to govern the country and not a smaller area.
Citizens can participate in government through the census. This means that everybody in the electoral register is obliged to complete and the government can find out about the changes taking place. Another way citizens can participate in government is through requesting a small change. For example, if somebody requests for more cleaning services in an area, the government can take it into accountability.
Political rights are important in a democracy because it can strengthen it. For instance, if many people have some sort of knowledge about political rights, the people can have a better say in the country. Another reason why political rights are important in a democracy is because of the freedom of speech. For instance, if people have freedom of speech, they can democratically and fairly have their say in the country.
Human rights are rights that are all humans are entitled to like the to right to life or the right to be free of torture but human rights are just principals that some countries follow... Legal rights are human rights protected by law through acts for example the equality act. Your legal rights can't be ignored or neglected or taken away from you unlike human rights.
The equality Act 2010 turns human rights principles into legal protections by protecting a persons protected characteristics like race, disability or sex or gender orientation. An example of is So its Law applies for a got job and they desctiminate against you because of one of your protected characteristics You are allowed to Sue them because that is illegal due to the Equality Act.
One example of how human rights to have been made into legal rights is the introduction of the equality Act 2010 which protects your protected characteristics and allows you to ask for compensation if you are descriminated against... and a second example... is through the privacy act because one of your human rights is the rights to a private life.
Local councillors are elected regularly and deal with local problems in your area such as fixing the roads or helping you with any local problems... MPs work on a wider scale... they help out a whole borough and are your representatives in the parliament.
citizens can participate in government directly by talking to your MPs and the prime minister... indirectly by handing out leaflets about things they need the government help to fix and also by becoming local counciller
Political rights are important in a democracy because they make sure you have the right to vote and also have the rights that make it safe for you to vote with out fear or judgment.
One diffrence between human right and legal right is that a human right a right granted or given to everyone and are the same for everyone for example everyone has the is able to have the right freedom of Speech... However another difference... is that Legal rights are diffrent for each countiy as the Uk and USA have diffrent ones and they can be changed and taken away.
The Equalitys Act 2010 turns human rights principles into legal protections through the freedom of sp disabelld people as if someone who was disabled was apliying for a job they would have to be treated as anyone else would, furthermore another place wese the Equalitys Act 2010 turns human rights principles into legal protections is through Muslim people as if a Muslim woman working at Tescos she would have to be treated fairly like everyone else and if she was treated badly she would be protected by 2010 equalitys act.
Two examples... is through the right of freedom of speech as if you felt the Government were doing an insuficient job you can criticize them on social media or protest and with out the fear of torture or penelisation, furthermore another place of how human rights have been turned into legal rights is through how you have the right to a lawyer as if you felt you wanted to Sue someone you would have the right to a free and fair court case with a lawyer on your side.
The diffrent roles... is through how many people they represent, as a Councillor represents people in a ward were they focus on more local issues like fixing sidewalkes and they are also volentiers and not paid, furthermore... MPs represent more people about 70,000 in a constituency were they scrutinize the Government and vote on laws.
Citizens can participate in government both directly and indirectly through, referendum as in 2016 people voted directly on how the Uk forieghn policy as well as laws in general would change as they chose between staying in or leaving the EU. furthermore Citizens can participate in government both indirectly through general elections, as in a general election people Vote for Mps who do the work of scrutinizing government for them and making new laws
Political rights are important in a democraey as it empoures people to vote and show the weath of they aprove or disapprove of the government as if people think the government is bad they can vote them out showing the power of people keeping the rule of law working, furthermore Politicial rights are important in a democracy as it helps governments through freedom of speech were people can voice there consernes of government which helps government to change unpopular things and work with people
Human rights are agreed by countries on that every human should have. Legal rights are mandatory and should are protected by law and should be respected. If you break them there are legal consequences. Some Human rights are not all legal rights.
The 2010 Equality Act turns human rights into legal protections because there are nine characteristics that are protected by law and those nine characteristics are human rights. Those nine characteristics are the what the 2010 legal right protects.
Human rights have been made into legal rights by because the Human right to life death penalty doesn't exist in the Uk as it contradicts the human right of life. For children the human right to education as if you don't go to attend school enough your parents will get fined / prosecuted - without a valid reason.
The role of local councillors is to make your estate or neighbourhood a better place, e.g erect a new park or talk to your MPs. An Mp's job is to talk to parliment and listen to you pass laws and see what would make the city/country better as a whole.
Citizens can talk to their local MP and tell them your concerns, This in further would help them become a better mp and speak about the people's concern, They can also just vote because voting helps the country to go in a better place as you care
Political rights are important in a democracy as it per states what is deemed right in many peoples eyes. It helps put a juristicces on the power that politics have.
The difference is that a human right is universal and inherent to everyone while legal rights are specific protections made by the government for example the UK Government
The Equality act in 2010 turns into human rights because they made it illegal for individuals and bussnisess to discriminate someone on certain things. these are known as the 9 protected characteristics... for example you can't discriminate someone on their skin, gender, age.
The First one that turned into legal rights is the equality act because it protects certain things about you another one is a fair trial because it makes it fair and not bias.
The different is local councillors don't have that much power and they suppost stuff to the government while parliament has more powers and can change laws if they wanted to and the local councillors represent you
Citizens can participate by First telling their local councillor something... and that is indirectly while directly is telling your mp about a issue
Political rights are important because it makes it fair and it helps with the voting and it can help them speak the truth to gain more supports since they have freedom of speech
Human rights are rights you are legally suppose to have and you get it when your born and nobody can take it away from you. legal rights are rights that are protected by the law so you can cule owners a legal rights because that what makes you stay alive. legal rights are like shelter, education i wore and human rights are to speake.
The Equality Act 2010 turns Human rights principles into legal protections because their are many discrimination, segregation and migration in the world that the law now protects it from happening and if it happens you can get punished for it. Another reason is that if we didn't have legal protections, we wouldn't be protected or have a little right.
Human rights have been made into legal rights in the UK because even though human rights are rights that Everyone has, You can still get that taken from you but legal rights you cant get those taken from you so having the right to speake is legal right and also another example is that is has turned into a legal right.
local councillors make rules only for a certain part of an area and every council governs part of the area and what you have to pay, fix, and also volunteers members of parliament also make the laws and sit in the house of commons with whoever is elected.

examples of how human rights have been made into legal rights in the UK is being travelling
The different roles... councillors and Members of Parliament
Citizens can participate in government both directly and indirectly
Political rights are important in a democracy.
Human rights are something you are born with and legal rights are rights that are enforced by law. The difference is human rights are enforced by law some but not everywhere. Legal rights are enforced by law everywhere.
The Equality Act 2010 turns certain HR principles e.g. race/gender reassignment and religion by making sure it is reinforced by law. A human right could be something like the right to follow any religion you want. The Legal version is the Equality Act 2010 as religion is a protected characteristic.
The right to follow whatever religion you want - protected characteristic in the Equality Act 2010. The right to privacy - protected by a privacy law
A local councillor is someone who is a member of your local council and has been elected by people in your area. Their role is to raise awareness about any problem in your area. A member of parliament is a person who has been elected to represent a part of the country in Parliament. Their role is to ensure any problems in their constituency are brought to Parliament.
Citizens can participate in government directly by getting involved in debates and being Politically engaged however they can participate indirectly via the secret ballot as it is anonymous.
Political rights are important in a democracy as it ensures everything is fair and equal. If political rights are not involved, the government could potentially select whoever they want to be in charge meaning it is not a democracy as a democracy is an equal society.
a human right is a universal right that belongs to a person while a legal right are something you Legally have, for example it's a legal right to be paid at work but it's a human Freedom of speech is a human
an example of this is having to get Paid the minimum wage while working and other may be characteristics like race, gender, ethnicity

Political rights are important in a democracy because it gives the people to vote on who they want in office and also allows people to express their needs as they might have problems/concerns
The Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations are a group of entitlements that a human has regardless of where they are nor their circumstances. However, a country could choose not to acknowledge them. On the other hand legal rights are fortified by the law and must be respected regarless as long as One is within a Country's territory.
The Equality Act 2010 turns human rights principles into legal protections by making them legal obligations and changing them from a declaration to a law. The Equality Act 2010 are a group of characteristics and situations which a person might belong to that are legally protected by the law.
Right to life has been made into a legal right in the Uk through the law passed that prevents the death penalty sentence. This is a legal right because it is a legal obligation that no one can be killed by law... Another right... is the right to a nationality. In the Uk, you cannot be deported if your only nationality is in the Uk no matter what crime you've committed.
The local councillor is elected by people of a certain constituency and their role is to represent a certain area and fix whatever issue They might come across. Members of Parliament however are in charge of evaluating laws and passing laws if the majority agrees.
Citizens can participate in government directly by being elected to represent others in Parliament... (Incorrect). Citizens can participate indirectly through taking part in elections. They are participating indirectly as they are voting for someone to represent them in government and participating indirectly.
An example of a political right is the right to a secret vote meaning that one can vote without the fear of being persecuted for their choice. This is important in a democracy alongside other political rights because they encourage people to take part and create a fair and inclusive government system.
human rights are the rights has you have under the UN that protect you. An example would be right to Shelter. You are born with these rights. Legal rights are rights you have.
As human rights like right to an education are rights on their own. Legal protections are charateristics protected by law. For example, you Sexual orientation, marraige or disabiity.
Human rights
