Freedom Freedom requires a degree of control from the person who exercises it. A person becomes freer when he or she exercises control over himself or herself. On the other hand, a person becomes less free when he or she is no longer in control of himself or herself and is instead, controlled by other forces. “My freedom to swing my fist ends where your nose begins.” “Voluntariness and responsibility go hand-in-hand in determining a person’s freedom.
