RIGHTS
Objectives:
On completion of this lesson, students will be able to:
• Identify some fundamental rights.
• Tell about these fundamental rights.
Everyday, we make dozens of simple decisions that require assigning a
value to each specific option as our mind quickly mulls over the choices
and makes a final decision. We often need to be guided by others as
well as by our experiences. We want freedom to decide about the things
concerning our lives. As citizens, we also need certain freedom to be
guaranteed to us. These freedoms are commonly called rights. But we
should not violate others rights while enjoying ours own.
Nepal is a democratic republic. We have a constitution which guides us
how to lead our lives as good citizens. Our constitution has given certain
basic rights to us. These rights are called fundamental rights. These are
very necessary for the all-round development of an individual.
Some fundamental rights granted by our constitution are:
