Human rights are inherent rights for all individuals regardless of status and were largely defined following the Enlightenment, with significant contributions from historical documents such as the Magna Carta and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. Key rights include the right to life, education, equality, and freedom of expression, which form the foundational principles of modern democratic societies.
