Do laws and legislation equal "rights?"?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46830points) February 26th, 2013

Someone told me that laws and legislation don’t always equal rights. They brought up the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” law, specifically. Well, the way I see it, “Don’t ask, don’t tell” law granted a certain right, and immunity, to gay people in the armed forces.

Can you think of any legislation or law that doesn’t affect people’s rights?
