English term
asserted their rights over what is now theirs by law
English to Chinese
Law/Patents
Law (general)
The Public Attorney's Office has its roots in the 1950s, when reforms in the Philippine countryside were first being carried out. Land owners of vast estates usually challenged the redistribution of land and agrarian workers asserted their rights over what is now theirs by law. It was inevitable that there were clashes between these two groups.

农业工人对现在根据法律属于自己的土地也主张自身权利
从“clashes"可以看出，land owners和agrarian workers在土地所有权问题上有分歧，都认为自己有所有权。所以也不难理解"The agrarian workers asserted their rights over what is now theirs by law"是说"农业工人对现在根据法律属于自己的土地也主张自身权利"。

: 原则上同意这样的理解，不过在措词上必须更清楚些：...而农工当时也主张/争取如今已成为其法定权利的那些权利。
