Constraint
[edit]Currently this entry misses the classical opposition of freedom and license. The philosopher John Locke, for example, felt that freedom necessarily entailed some constraint and acceptance of responsibility or else it could injure society and individuals. Such freedom without limits turned into "license." Freedom of speech is an easy example of the possibilities of liberties becoming licenses. Free speech without limits can provoke danger (e.g., yelling "fire" in a crowded theater) or advocate violence or inflict symbolic injuries by libelous statements.
