Explanation:
Rights are conditions and protections that cannot be breached or taken away by others, even by the government or the state. In liberal democratic systems, every individual is assumed to have certain rights. It is the duty of the government and legal system to protect and uphold these rights.
Rights are essential in a democracy because:
Every citizen has the right to vote and the right to participate or contest in the elections to form a government.
It is necessary that the citizens should have the right to express their opinion , form political parties and take part in political activities in any democractic election.
Rights protect the minority from the oppression of majority. The right ensure that the majority cannot go according to its wish.
