Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A “positive” right is one that gives you an entitlement. Social Security and Medicare are good examples. There are also positive rights such as the right to an attorney, and the right to refuse to incriminate yourself (taking the fifth).

A “negative” right is a right to be left alone. Free to do or own things without getting “permission” from the government. Negative rights are basically freedoms to do things as long as you don’t harm or endanger other people
