Summary / Abstract:

ENFreedom is one of the main natural values that in the democratic and rule of law state may be restricted only in the exceptional cases, upon certain grounds and only following the procedures consolidated by the laws. Freedom is the power lying within the mind and willpower to act or not to act, to do one thing or another, to act deliberately and forcefully. The freedom guarantee and its immunity are the necessary conditions, means that a person could easily use also many other natural or granted rights. Still the freedom of a person is not absolute; it is restricted by the responsibility and freedom of other person. Thus, free, democratic and rule of law state, as a certain form of self-discipline of free persons, establish certain legitimate limits of a person’s freedom, important for the existence of the state and corresponding the objective of common wealth and for the persons violating them may restrict the freedom or even deprive of it for a certain period of time [p. 304].
