In Hohfeld's scheme, what is the correlative of a legal privilege or liberty?
Correct answer: D. A no-right
- A. A duty
- B. A liability
- C. A power
- D. A no-right
Explanation
A Hohfeldian privilege means that the holder has no duty to refrain from the relevant conduct. Its correlative is therefore another person's no-right, not a duty or a power.

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.
