Libertad, 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 dimensions, including personal, social, and political freedoms, allowing individuals to make choices and express themselves without fear of punishment. In many societies, Libertad is considered a fundamental human right, often protected by laws and constitutions. It is closely linked to concepts such as democracy, where citizens have the right to participate in governance, and civil liberties, which safeguard individual rights against government overreach.
