Alternate names: Birthright, Inherent entitlement
Name variations: right to rule

Examples:
* Ownership (an item), rulership (a nation), etc. - makes no sense if ownership is not properly maintained or transferred, e.g. a street urchin claiming the crown of the king or some artefact from a museum/collector.
* Power, ability, etc. - commonly with the power being innate (hereditary) rather than external, makes more sense when this is "stolen".
* Quality of life - if they can't provide it themselves, others are supposed to provide it for them, free of charge. Easily overlaps with exemption from below, though not necessarily.
* Exemption - being exempt from rules of the "common folk", being allowed to ignore law and other commonly accepted rules. Nobility is often depicted as abusing this.

Commonly involves a rightful owner/ruler trying to reclaim it from those who took the rightfully owned thing from them.
