I don't know if it's correct to use "is" for the "right".

Question

Is there anything wrong with the sentence?
Thank you for your concern.

"The right of decision-making is left to the consumers."
I don't know if it's correct to use "is" for the "right".

Answer

This sentence seems to be loaded with puns about the word 'right'.

Firstly, I think it's a case where 'right' is 'wrong' : I would use the word 'responsibility', or even 'job', rather than 'right'.

This makes more sense. And secondly, it also avoids the awkward combination of 'right' and 'left' (!)

Answer

Yes, your impression is correct.

"The right..." (singular verb)

If you were wondering about the phrase "decision-making", then that is also singular.
