Rachels and Rachels (2009) states that a right is a universal that applies to all men and notes that in the United States, rights are derived from the Constitution. In this regard, our Constitution does not grant public education as a right; however, there are nonetheless good reasons to think of it as a right or a universal requirement for all men. First, educated citizens contribute to the productivity of any country, which is to say they make a country stronger in its performance output (Kowal & Thomas, 2002).
