Property can be stated as an indefinable or physical thing that is possessed by a person or by a group of person. The property right can be defined as a bunch of entitlements defining the owner’s constitutional rights and restrictions for use of a resource. Property rights can be regarded as one of the most important component to run the system of any country effectively and successfully.

The role of property rights were emphasized by Adam Smith and David Hume. They stated that in an effective and just legal system; property rights have the potential to set the capital of nations on a path of eternal prosperity and growth.

The property rights ensures an owner of property the right to sell, relocate, rent or exchange their property and rule out others from doing all these things. The property rights guarantees the owner all the rights essential to own property.

Property rights are significant for one’s freedom. Without property rights, one can be regarded as nothing but just a renter paying taxes on property over which one has no right. Many disputes arise in the case of public property due to the fact that everyone owns them or perhaps no one owns them. However, disputes over property could be set on if the available resources were divided as private property. Then one can charge a fee to someone using property or take legal actions against a person exploiting property. Every nation must ensure the incorporation of property rights in their constitution in order to develop and prosper in the world. Due to the nonexistence of formal property rights many environmental problems are witnessed such as pollution, animals becoming extinct and the exhaustion of rainwater forest.

An Article of Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that every individual has the right to own property and that no one should be illogically underprivileged of his property. Property rights are vital for the development of a nation than its economic policy or geographic conditions.
