  1. liberties

    Liberty is the ability to do as one pleases, or a right or immunity enjoyed by prescription or by grant (i.e. privilege). It is a synonym for the word freedom. In modern politics, liberty is understood as the state of being free within society from control or oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views. In theology, liberty is freedom from the effects of "sin, spiritual servitude, [or] worldly ties".Sometimes liberty is differentiated from freedom by using the word "freedom" primarily, if not exclusively, to mean the ability to do as one wills and what one has the power to do; and using the word "liberty" to mean the absence of arbitrary restraints, taking into account the rights of all involved. In this sense, the exercise of liberty is subject to capability and limited by the rights of others. Thus liberty entails the responsible use of freedom under the rule of law without depriving anyone else of their freedom. Liberty can be taken away as a form of punishment. In many countries, people can be deprived of their liberty if they are convicted of criminal acts. Liberty originates from the Latin word libertas, derived from the name of the goddess Libertas, who, along with more modern personifications, is often used to portray the concept, and the archaic Roman god Liber. The word "liberty" is often used in slogans, such as in "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" and "Liberté, égalité, fraternité".

Examples of liberties in a Sentence

  1. Governor Huckabee:

    People are going to have to begin to be willing to lose things in order to preserve the country and their freedoms, when people are told by their government what they can and ca n’t say, it’s one step away from being told what they can and ca n’t do. All other liberties begin to erode.

  2. Attorney General Bill Barr:

    You know, putting a national lockdown, stay at home orders, is like house arrest. Other than slavery, which was a different kind of restraint, this is the greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American history.

  3. James Monroe:

    We must support our rights or lose our character, and with it, perhaps, our liberties.

  4. Neil Gorsuch:

    It’s no surprise that a lot of the false information spread on social media is deliberately spread by our enemies to sow disagreement internally in the country, if we allow them to destroy our sense of ‘we the people’ - our sense of community, our sense of our shared liberties that we love and treasure - that’s hard to come back from.

  5. Derek Schmidt:

    Todays judicial ruling is a much-needed reminder that the Constitution is not under a stay-home order and the Bill of Rights cannot be quarantined, the Constitution protects our liberties especially during times of crisis, when history reveals governments too quick to sacrifice rights of the few to calm fears of the many.
