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.
With respect to individualliberty in the modern era, the problem has been one of preserving and extending civil rights, such as freedom of speech and freedom of the press (see Civil Rights and Civil Liberties; Press, Freedom of the; Speech, Freedom of).
In these countries civil liberties were destroyed, the rights of the individual were completely subordinated to the requirements of the government, and those who did not agree with these policies were terrorized into submission.
Liberty is generally considered a concept of political philosophy and identifies the condition in which an individual has immunity from the arbitrary exercise of authority.
Political philosophies rooted in individualism and socialism often conceive of liberty differently; individualist and liberal conceptions of liberty relate to the freedom of the individual from outside compulsion; a socialist perspective, for example, equates liberty with equality, claiming that liberty without equality amounts to the domination of the most powerful.
The conception of law as a relationship between individuals, rather than families, came to the fore, and with it the increasing focus on individualliberty as a fundamental reality, given by "Nature and," which, in the ideal state, would be as expansive as possible.
