Abstract
The distinction was introduced in Chapter 1 between the reality that ought to be and the reality that is. In the reality that ought to be a further distinction was made between what is objectively right (norms and their content) and what is subjectively right, meaning rights and obligations. What is subjectively right depends on the content of norms as well as on what this content refers to in the reality that is—to actual subjects (people), states of affairs, and events.
