Freemen are individuals who claim to be free from the jurisdiction of certain laws or government authorities. This concept often arises in discussions about personal sovereignty and individual rights. Some people identify as freemen based on beliefs that they can live outside the legal system, often citing historical documents or interpretations of law. The movement is sometimes associated with the sovereign citizen movement, which promotes the idea that individuals can declare themselves independent from government regulations. However, many legal experts and authorities dispute these claims, emphasizing that all citizens are subject to the laws of their respective countries.
