Freedom
Freedom exists when an individual embarks on an activity, without dangerous consequences and/or punishments.
In every country's constitution, there are sections that outline the Fundamental Human Rights of citizens.
These rights are not supposed to be trampled upon by fellow citizens, government and its agents, once such rights are not abused by the citizens themselves.
