It is the provision of rights with their due enforcement by the state that ensures freedom to a citizen and thereby enables him to seek the best possible development of his personality. The term liberty" comes from the latin word liber" that means free". Social life is regulated by a set of principles or norms that make man"s life civilized. Liberty of an individual is relative to that of others. Liberty is defined by mahatma gandhi as follows, liberty does not mean the absence of restraint but it lies in development of liberty. According to john seeley, liberty is the opposite of over-government . Negative liberty meant that there should not be any hindrance in the path of one"s actions.
