Roman for Congress - FREEDOM
What does freedom mean to you? What does freedom mean to you here in America? I looked at a copy of Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary for the meaning our Founders would have used.
FREEDOM: A state of exemption from the power or control of another; liberty; exemption from slavery, servitude or confinement. Freedom is personal, civil, political and religious.
Here is a series of definitions from that dictionary in a 4 part series......
Freedom from restraint, in a general sense, and applicable to the body, or to the will or mind. The body is at liberty, when not confined; the will or mind is at liberty, when not checked or controlled. A man enjoys liberty, when no physical force operates to restrain his actions or volitions.
None of this freedom could exist with out a set of rules. This country was founded on Judeo Christian principles which checks the accesses of human nature.
Read the next section on Natural Liberty as defined by Noah Webster in 1828.
