Write briefly about the Holland’s theory of rights and duties.
[Jurisprudence]
According to Holland, “every right implies the active or passive forbearance by others of the wishes of the party having the right. The forbearance on the part of other is called a duty. A moral duty is that which is demanded by the public opinion of society and a legal duty is that which is enforced by the power of the state”.
