Define the concept of liberty or freedom.

The concept of liberty is a necessary condition for free and full development of our personality. According to Gettle “Liberty is the positive power of doing and enjoying those things which are worthy of enjoyment and work.” According to T.H. Green, ‘Freedom is the positive power or capacity of doing and enjoying something worth doing and worth enjoying.” According to Laski, “Liberty means the maintenance of the atmosphere in which men have the opportunity to be their best selves.”

From the above mentioned definitions it can be said that liberty does not mean absence of all restrictions because unrestrained or unrestricted liberty cannot be given to anybody in the society. It means that no unjust restrictions be imposed on the liberty of the individual because they hamper the growth of individual personality. Liberty means power to do anything that does not harm others.
