Question about English (US)
Right or rights?
1) There's no such thing as rights to people who choose not to vote
2) It's our rights and duties
Can I use "right" instead of "rights" in the first sentence? And is it okay to use plural forms of right and duty?

The difference is just plural vs singular
“There shouldn’t be rights for people who choose not to vote”
(Means those people should not have any rights)
“It is a right to choose which school I want to attend”
(This is a singular right)
“It is our right and duty” = singular
“They are our rights and duties” = plural
