Positive and negative rights are rights that respectively oblige either action (positive rights) or inaction (negative rights).
A negative right is a right not to be subjected to an action of another person or group—a government, for example—usually in the form of abuse or coercion.
A positive right is a right to be subjected to an action of another person or group. In other words, for a positive right to be exercised, someone else's actions must be added to the equation.
In theory, a negative right forbids others from acting against the right holder, while a positive right obligates others to act with respect to the right holder.
Rights considered negative rights may include civil and political rights such as freedom of speech, life, private property, freedom from violent crime, freedom of religion, habeas corpus, a fair trial, freedom from slavery.
Rights considered positive rights may include other civil and political rights such as police protection of person and property and the right to counsel, as well as economic, social and cultural rights such as food, housing, public education, employment, national security, military, health care, social security, internet access, and a minimum standard of living.
