Would this be correct?
"Tengo derecho a preguntar." I have the right to ask.
"Tengo derecho a saber." I have the right to know.

If you change the a to de and put el infront of derecho I don't see why not.
The RAE says: Derecho can be:
Consecuencia natural del estado de una persona, o de sus relaciones con respecto a otras. El derecho del padre Los derechos de la amistad

Yes, I'd also go with Tengo el derecho de saber. The use of de may make more sense to you if you rewrite your English line into 'I have the right of knowing'.

OK, thanks. I constructed my sentence from the example listed in the dictionary on this site. Which to me felt awkward. - Anna, Aug 9, 2011
