Original sentence: (although, arguably, a negative right also requires positive action in order to be enforced - for example, the right to be secure in one's home implies that some positive action must be taken to punish those who attempt breaking and entering).A positive right is a right, either moral or decreed by law, to be provided with something through the action of another person or group of people (usually a state).However, critics of the libertarian view may point out that private property itself can only exist while there is a government to defend it.Positive rights are sometimes contrasted with negative rights, which are rights to not be subject to the action of another.The former prescribe action, while the latter proscribe action.This comes in the form of taxation, which can then be used to provide for people's positive rights as well.Thus, it is reasonable to ask people to give something back in return for the government defense of their property
Edited sentence: A Positive right is a right, either moral or decreed by law, to be provided with something so that it is incumbent upon another to act, as opposed to a negative right which is a right to not be subject to the action of another.The former prescribes action, while the latter proscribes action.human rights
