GW WonkCast S4E9: What is a Right?
Description
We often hear the word “right” used in policy discussions and debates about federal programs. But what exactly is a right? What is the difference between a positive right and a negative right? How does our understanding of rights influence what we believe about the roles and responsibilities of a government and its citizens? This week, co-hosts Nathalie Grogan, Eli Richman, and Eric LaDue explore these questions and their implications for modern-day policy issues including healthcare, gun control, and education.
