Rettfor

Rettfor is a fictional political concept described in this article as a framework for balancing individual rights with collective responsibilities within a modern society. The term combines elements from rett (law, justice) and for (for), conveying a sense of "rights for all" or "justice for all." Rettfor is a constructed concept used to illustrate how policy design might integrate rights with duties.

In the imagined model, rettfor seeks to align legal rights with social duties through policy instruments such as participatory budgeting, restorative justice, and universal access to essential services. Proponents argue that rettfor fosters civic engagement and reduces inequity by tying benefits to accountable governance, while preserving competitive markets through performance-based regulation.

The concept appeared in theoretical discussions and speculative fiction in the early 21st century, where it is presented as a normative ideal rather than a fixed policy package.

Principles and tools: Core tenets include equity of opportunity, social safety nets, transparent governance, proportional accountability, and inclusive decision-making. Implementation tools may involve legally enshrined rights paired with duties, community councils, and data-informed policy evaluation.

Critics warn that practical implementation could be fiscally demanding and risk overreach if not carefully bounded; supporters counter that rettfor offers a coherent social compact and greater resilience.
