To the founders of the American republic, liberty was the central principle of government.
<h3>The central principle of government</h3>
According to the right to liberty, no one may be held or arrested unless specifically allowed by law. Additionally, their detention and arrest must not be arbitrary.
This right is applicable to all forms of confinement that rob individuals of their liberty, not only those involving the criminal judicial system.
The Latin word "Liber," which means "free," is the root of the term "liberty." In this context, liberty refers to the absence of restrictions and the ability to behave however one pleases.
A civic society, however, considers such a definition of liberty to be destructive and undesirable.
Therefore, liberty means using one's freedom within the bounds of the law in a way that doesn't restrict the freedom of others.
