Liberté, or freedom, refers to the state of being free from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views. It encompasses various aspects, including personal, social, and political freedoms, allowing individuals to express themselves, make choices, and pursue their own paths without undue interference. In many societies, Liberté is considered a fundamental human right, often protected by laws and constitutions. Historical documents, such as the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, emphasize the importance of freedom in promoting equality and justice. The concept remains central to discussions about democracy and human rights worldwide.
