What are some of the rights in the "bundle of rights" that constitutes ownership? Explain, with examples, the idea that the rights in this bundle are distinct and separable.


  1. Liberty to use, 
  2. right to exclude, 
  3. power to transfer, and 
  4. immunity from damages.
Liberty to use Suzy's parents can do pretty much what they want with their house without anyone else's permission.

Right to exclude no one else has a right to use the house unless Suzie's parents let them.

Power to transfer Suzie's parents can sell or give away the house. they also can determine what happens to t upon their deaths, by leaving it in their wills to susie or to SPCA.

Immunity from damage just as no else can use the property, no one else has power to damage the property. if a neighbor chops down his own tree and it falls through their roof, Suzie's parents can recover money damages from the neighbor for the cost of reprinting the roof.
