According to Hohfeld's analysis, what is the correlativity of a legal right?
Correct answer: A. A legal duty imposed on another person
- A. A legal duty imposed on another person
- B. A legal privilege held by the same person
- C. A legal disability imposed on the right-holder
- D. A legal immunity held by the opposing party
Explanation
In Hohfeld's scheme, a right in the strict sense correlates with another person's duty. A privilege correlates with a no-right, while immunity correlates with a disability, so these alternatives confuse separate Hohfeldian relationships.

About Jurisprudence
Jurisprudence examines the nature, purpose and sources of law through the ideas of justice, rights, duties, sovereignty, liability and legal personality. It compares natural law, analytical positivism, historical, sociological and realist approaches, and considers how courts interpret legal rules, distinguish law from morality and resolve conflicts between competing principles.
