(A) Laski
(B) Bosanquet
(C) Hegel
(D) Marx
The definition of a right as a "reasonable claim recognized by society and enforced by the state" was developed by the British philosopher Bernard Bosanquet, who was an idealist. Bosanquet was adamant in his argument that rights are not just personal powers or natural possessions, but are essentially social in character. There must be the community’s moral acknowledgment and the state’s legal support for a right to exist.
