Positive rights
Positive rights are special kinds of rights that governments can give to people. A right is something that a person is allowed to do, like going to school or voting in an election.
A positive right is special because it means that the government must do something for you. For example, a positive right could mean that the government must give you the money to go to school, or it must give you a place to live. These positive rights make sure that everyone has a chance to have the things they need to live a good life.
