Pick an option to check yourself.
• Correct Answer: D
• In a polity, liberty is best defined as the presence of conditions enabling full personality development and self-realisation (positive liberty).
• Absence of restraint is negative liberty; protection against tyranny is a function, not the definition; 'doing whatever one likes' is license, not liberty.
• The modern constitutional conception encompasses positive conditions for human flourishing.
