"The right" is defined as "a moral or legal entitlement to have or obtain something or to act in a certain way." The majority have a legal entitlement where not constrained by the constitution, so they have the right. Again, that doesn't make it the right thing to do, though.

> By you, perhaps...

By Websters. I think we're on the same page though.
