	Encyclopedia: Liberty
		Liberty is generally thought of in English as a condition in which an individual has immunity from the arbitrary exercise of authority; it often also implies the right to exercise political rights such as standing for office.
		Liberty was greatly prized by many classical writers such as Aristotle, Demosthenes, Cicero and Tacitus, often in the context of democratic institutions.
		Liberty (as a goddess; she is the personification of liberty).

	Positive and Negative Liberty
		Negative liberty is the absence of obstacles, barriers or constraints.
		While negative liberty is usually attributed to individual agents, positive liberty is sometimes attributed to collectivities, or to individuals considered primarily as members of given collectivities.
		Positive liberty consists, they say, in exactly this growth of the individual: the free individual is one that develops, determines and changes her own desires and interests autonomously and from within.

	Ecuador 1997 - Chapter VII
		Principally, any deprivation of liberty must be carried out according to preestablished law; accordingly, "no one shall be subject to arbitrary arrest or imprisonment." A person detained must be informed of the reason and promptly notified of any charge against him or her.
		When a person is detained on the basis of such a pressing need, it is incumbent upon the national judicial authorities to use special diligence in the conduct of proceedings to ensure that the length of detention does not become unreasonable.
		Any person detained shall be brought promptly before a judge or other officer authorized by law to exercise judicial power and shall be entitled to trial within a reasonable time or to be released without prejudice to the continuation of the proceedings.

	Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.3, Entry 50, PERSONAL LIBERTY LAWS: Library of Economics and Liberty
		PERSONAL LIBERTY LAWS (IN), statutes passed by the legislatures of various northern states, during the existence of the fugitive slave laws, for the purpose of securing to alleged fugitives the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus and the trial by jury, which those laws denied them.
		This was the first real "personal liberty law," other previous state statutes being ostensibly or really designed to assist in the rendition of fugitives; and even this statute soon fell into disuse and was practically forgotten.
		It thus provoked the passage of the personal liberty laws in the north.

	For a New Liberty by Murray N. Rothbard part 5
		THERE ARE, OF COURSE, many problems of personal liberty which cannot be subsumed under the category of "involuntary servitude." Freedom of speech and press have long been treasured by those who confine themselves to being "civil libertarians"—"civil" meaning that economic freedom and the rights of private property are left out of the equation.
		Paradoxically, then, a person of limited resources is more apt to suffer from libel—and to have his own speech restricted—in the present system than he would in a world without any laws against libel or defamation.
		There is no right more personal, no freedom more precious, than for any woman to decide to have, or not to have, a baby, and it is totalitarian in the extreme for any government to presume to deny her that right.

		The principle of personal agency and responsibility is at the cornerstone, and the other three principles that flow from this fundamental motive are, in his view (and in my shorthand): a spirited defense of private property, an emphasis on personal initiative and enterprise, and a condemnation of socialism as unjust and contrary to nature.
		Personally I do not think so, but my argument for that brings me quite naturally to a second form of deep congeniality between Leo XIII and Abraham Kuyper.
		For in that project of societal reconstruction all persons are primarily seen as atoms or individuals, to be fitted together in either the construct of mechanical and anonymous markets, or in the collectivistic artifact of an omnipotent State.
