Answer 1

Political rights refers to the rights of an individual to participate in civil and political life of the society and nation without any discrimination or exploitation. Political rights include right to vote, right to get elected, right to assemble ,right to assemble ,right to criticize , right to free from torture, right to liberty. Economic rights refers to rights are those human rights that relate to our ability to live in dignity and participate fully in our society. Economic rights includes right to education, right to house, shelter, and food , right to adequate standard of living, right to health etc. Generally we can't say correctly that there is any inherent conflict between political rights and economic rights. Because both political rights and economic right should go together. They should not be prioritized over other. To live in a society. Political rights are justiciable but economic rights are not deemed officially justiciable. But the obligations imposed by economic rights must be same as civil and political rights .If political rights maintain governmnets with in democratic limits, economic rights establish adequate limits for the market .Both economic and political problems should be important for human life. Without economic rights, nothing can be do with political rights
