Property Rights & Economic Growth

1.  I am passionate about this topic because I want to know as a citizen of the United States, what I own.  By being a part of this nation and going beyond what is required of me as a citizen, I feel I should know my property rights.  I also want to know and take polls on the different responses people would have if they owned different things.  For example, if someone owned the air, would they change things they do in order to preserve and protect it.

2.  Beginning this project, I know that a property right is when you have a legal right to or in a particular property.  However, I am not aware of anything in further detail.
