Unprotected liberties versus protected freedoms

Description

How does privilege get protected by the law? "Privileges are what we might call unprotected liberties. In this respect they are very unlike negative claim-rights whose freedoms are always protected by corresponding obligations. Such claim-rights, whether active or passive, are always protected freedoms" (Waluchow, 2003, p.51). Privilege is an important label in differentiation. Waluchow, W. J. (2003).
