Rightly so vs and rightly so

Both are correct phrases in English, but they're used in slightly different contexts. "Rightly so" is a standalone phrase used to agree with a previous statement or action. On the other hand, "and rightly so" is used to connect two ideas or reasons, emphasizing the correctness of the second idea or reason.
