Question

Freedom implies absence of _______________.

• A. Rights
• B. Speech and expression
• C. Constraints
• D. Social discrimination

Answer 1

The correct option is C Constraints

Freedom means liberty or freeness where one can have the power to express oneself without any fear of suppression or hindrance. In simple terms, freedom is the absence of constraints. Freedom is said to exist when external constraints on the individual are absent. In terms of this definition, an individual could be considered free if he/she is not subject to external controls or coercion and can make independent decisions and act autonomously. However, the absence of constraints is only one dimension of freedom. Freedom is also about expanding the ability of people to freely express themselves and develop their potential.
