Freedom 

Liberty or Freedom, right of individuals to act as they choose. In this sense, it is frequently called individual liberty. The term is also employed in connection with the achievement of sovereignty by a people; when so used, it is called national liberty. Although in these traditional senses liberty may be specifically civil or political, the modern concept further connotes a generalized body of rights, such as the right to economic opportunity and education.

 

 

Rights and Restraints

Because completely unrestricted freedom of action would make peaceful human existence impossible, some restraints on freedom of action are necessary and inevitable. Virtually all codes of action recognize that basic limitation. Liberty is defined in such codes as the right of individuals to act without restraint as long as their actions do not interfere with the equivalent rights of others; acts that do violate the rights of others are rejected as license.

 

Freedom of expression

Speech, Freedom of, freedom of expression, both oral and written, from governmental prior restraint, except as such expression constitutes libel, slander, obscenity, sedition, or criminal conduct such as bribery, perjury, or incitement to riot. In the U.S., this freedom is protected by the 1st Amendment to the Constitution, and is considered essential to the vitality of representative government. At the core of 1st Amendment concerns is the protection of expression that is critical of government policies.

As with other forms and modes of liberty, completely unrestricted freedom of expression leads to infringement on the rights of others, and it has long been recognized that restraints on liberty of utterance are necessary and inevitable. The nature and extent of the restraints to be imposed and the means by which they are enforced have constituted important problems in law and government. Historically, most of these problems have revolved around the expression of ideas that were antagonistic to prevailing religious, political, and economic beliefs and institutions, and thus were adjudged subversive. In time of war, freedom of speech is necessarily abridged to some extent in the interests of public security.

 

Freedom of religion

Religious Liberty, right of a person to form personal religious beliefs according to his or her own conscience and to give public expression to these beliefs in worship and teaching, restricted only by the requirements of public order. Religious liberty differs from toleration in that toleration presupposes preferential treatment of a particular creed by the state because it is an established church or, in some cases, is the predominant religion of the population.

  

Modern Problems

Since these revolutions, the principal problem with respect to national liberty has arisen in connection with the struggles of small states and colonial areas to be free from foreign political or economic control and to achieve full sovereignty. Closely related to this problem has been that arising from the efforts of national or racial minorities, such as the French residents of Québec, Canada, to win political and cultural autonomy within a country.
