freedom

People who live in liberty are those who can act unobstructed by barriers made by others to stop him. However, such freedom can only be represented in a moral and logical if freedom itself as a principle not so find. Because of that freedom of action for a liberal when he ended up in restricting the freedom of others by force and coercion. So, we need a precise definition of the absolute freedom for every individual. Here the question about the limits of freedom associated with the question of property rights.
Freedom is only legitimate when people may have something in accordance with their rights. Thus emerged a general rule not to have anyone else, except the right of ownership was handed over voluntarily. Freedom is, thus declared fathers, the English philosopher and father of liberalism John Locke in his book "Two treatises on Government" in 1690, departing from ownership. This in no way related to political interests that refers to personal property ("Possesive individualism") as referred to some critics. Locke's statement was more emphasis on the definition of personality. Ownership is Locke's first of all is the ownership of man by himself. In modern American English, there is a good term for it, namely "self-ownership".
Liberal freedom aspired not been able to be realized by man. Although there is progress, nonetheless there are still rules of coercion (usually by the government) who kill, injure, confining or take human rights to speak.
Is not there are so many excuses to limit that freedom? Are not many people feel threatened by the existence of differences with others so that they want to limit the differences with violence? Are not many people argue that a third person who is less
fought  that need to be forced to help the state to make social kesemwarutan really exist or that there are visible? Are not many people considered legitimate to protect one another from self destruction (eg through the consumption of drugs)? Are not many people want to force others for the sake of happiness that person?
