Grammar question Hi, there Which of these sentences sounds better? “This is a complete disregard/disrespect BY (of?)the government FOR our rights” or “This is a complete disregard/disrespect FOR our rights BY(of?) the government”? Do they both sound odd? But which is better? And should I say of or by? Thank you

“This is a complete disregard of our rights by the government." I suppose that would be the most correct, although I wouldn't say it's entirely natural sounding. It'd be slightly more common to say "The government is completely disregarding our rights." OR "The government has a complete disregard for our rights."

But which sentence is better? Please
