The notion of equality and freedom is the central notion of government.

And when we talk

about freedom it means freedom (1) from oppression, (2) from Tyranny, (3) of speech and
peaceful assembly, (4) of press, (5) from confiscation of property. The decision which
matters life should be made by themselves rather than other person or government make
decision for them. And for this there is required a democratic republic which listens to them.
Such democracy is desired where individual decision or wishes are not trampled on the
decision of the majority. For this an appropriate limitation on the power of majority so as to
not let them disobey the will of the minority is required. Its where the libertarianism comes
to picture. They wanted each individual to be free to live his or her own life as they chose as
long as they did not forcibly interfere with the equal freedom of others to do the same and its
where is the essence of libertarianism.

Economic freedom is very crucial for achieving greater opportunities and good standard of
living for all in any society. It is the freedom to create own market by using your own
resources without hampering others rights. It is basically a freedom to flourish and prosper
within a nation without the intervention of the authority. It is based on the principle that
people are free to safeguard their resources, labour and property. On the other hand individual
freedom is the liberty to do anything which is lawful and morally right. For example-
Enjoying music is ones individual freedom but if it affects someone, say a student preparing
for exam, then it is not freedom. Individual freedom also includes economic freedom.

So a freedom personal or economic is desirable until it hampers others. The government has
duty to maintain public order, national security, the preservation of moral values as well as
the respect for the rights of others and for all this it is necessary to put restrictions on some of
the liberties or freedoms like freedom to speech and expression.
