Which of the following is NOT one of the basic rights protected by the Charter of Rights?

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms, part of Canada’s Constitution, outlines a variety of fundamental rights and freedoms that protect individuals against government actions. Among these rights are mobility rights, which allow citizens to move freely within Canada; language rights, which grant individuals the right to use either of Canada’s official languages; and democratic rights, which ensure participation in the democratic process, including the right to vote.

Social rights, while important, are not explicitly enumerated in the Charter. They generally refer to rights related to social welfare and economic security, such as the right to education, healthcare, and adequate living conditions. These types of rights are often protected under different laws or policies rather than being explicitly stated in the Charter itself. Thus, social rights are correctly identified as not being one of the basic rights protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
