Review Questions:        

What does Dworkin mean by right in the strong sense? What rights in this sense are protected by the U.S. Constitution?

According to the chapter all of us in the world, human being have the right to do their wants and the action they want to do. Because they have the right to do something, and the wrong part is interfering the people. These sense that protected by the U.S constitution is the equal in moral community, equal politics.

 

Distinguish between legal and moral right. Give some example of legal rights that are not moral right, and moral right that are not legal rights.

Legal right are the right which included in the constitution or in the related to the Government or Country, this will serve as a right for all the people under the same constitution while moral right is like a natural right of a person which does not part of constitutional meaning these are the natural thing that people might experience which involves that morality of a person.

There are different model first is the model of balancing the public interest of all people in their personal interest and in the community. Second is the equality in the politics this shows that the government will give the equality in all people same freedom for all the more attractive model Is the second model.
