Right

Hello,

I was reading a book about the rights of people in a country.
The heading was like "rights of freedom".

I am a little bit confused about the usage of the word "right".
Why the plural form of "right" has been used?
It could be like "right of freedom".
Could any one here explain it?

Thanks

It doesn't mean the right to/of freedom itself, but refers to the collection of rights pertaining to freedom, such as: Freedom of Speech Freedom of Religion Freedom of Assembly Freedom of Association etc.
