Legislative body passes a law "granting the freedom to" slap anyone in the face who utters the word "y'all". Suddenly, southerners find life a lot less free.
Freedoms can be opposed to each other. In fact, it's more the norm than the exception; different freedoms are in constant conflict with each other.
- CivBase 5y agoSoutherners would be no less free. They would have fewer rights. Rights != Freedom Freedom is the absence of restraint. A right is an entitlement. They often conflict with one another. We have many laws which sacrifice our freedoms in exchange for various rights. Depending on the trade, that can be a very good thing. 100% freedom is not desirable.
