Libertarian

"There is nothing to take a man 's freedom away from him, save other men. To be free, a man must be free of his brothers. That is freedom. That and nothing else." (Anthem).

For that reason, I think that is why there are different groups, such as the Libertarian’s and Rawlsian. Both of these groups have principles that relate to freedom, but just like every individual they have the different looks on how freedom should be dispersed.

Libertarians believe that individuals should have the choice of freedom.…
