Animal
Animals are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, reproduce sexually, and grow from a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development. Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from 8.5 millionths of a metre to 33.6 metres (110 ft) and have complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The study of animals is called zoology.
Rights
Rights are legal, social, or ethical principles of freedom or entitlement; that is, rights are the fundamental normative rules about what is allowed of people or owed to people, according to some legal system, social convention, or ethical theory. Rights are of essential importance in such disciplines as law and ethics, especially theories of justice and deontology.
Rights
It shall not be in the power of any man, by his election, to vary the rights of two other contending parties.
Lord Mansfield, Drinkwater v. Goodwin (1775), Cowp. 251.
Rights
Mensuraque juris
Vis erat.
Might was the measure of right.
Rights
For right is right, since God is God,
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin.
F. W. Faber, The Right Must Win, Stanza 18.
