About Property Rights

Property rights are one of fundamental rights of human beings. Property is defined as any virtual or physical entity which is owned by a single person or a group of individuals. The individual who possess the property has the right to sell, mortgage, rent or transfer his/her property. Property rights are protected in the current laws of states usually found in the form of a Constitution or a Bill of Rights.

A property right is the exclusive authority to determine how a resource is used, whether that resource is owned by government or by individuals. Society approves the uses selected by the holder of the property right with governmental administered force and with social ostracism. If the resource is owned by the government, the agent who determines its use has to operate under a set of rules determined, in the United States, by Congress or by executive agencies it has charged with that role.

As per Adam Smith, the expectation of profit from "improving one's stock of capital" rests on private property rights. It is a belief central to capitalism that property rights encourage the property holders to develop the property, generate wealth, and efficiently allocate resources based on the operation of the market. The three basic elements of private property rights are: exclusivity of rights to choose the use of a resource, exclusivity of rights to the services of a resource, and rights to exchange the resource at mutually agreeable terms.

The three basic elements of a private property right are: exclusivity of rights to choose the use of a resource, exclusivity of rights to the services of a resource, and rights to exchange the resource at mutually agreeable terms. The United States can only interfere with your property rights as decided or set by the Constitution. The government may take private property only for a public purpose, after exercising due process of law, and upon making "just compensation."

Well, above is the description of property rights. Property rights are a fundamental right of any individual and they should be given the full freedom to exercise it as per their liking but within certain set rules or laws.
