SSWH13 Based on Montesquieu’s writings, which of the following is true about liberty.
Liberty means living free of laws and seeking one’s own best interest.
Liberty means that people are as free as they choose, even if that brings harm to others.
Liberty is freedom for one’s self that does not violate another’s freedom.
Liberty means living under certain laws, but ignoring those that you feel are restrictive.
The correct answer is: Liberty is freedom for one’s self that does not violate another’s freedom.
According to Montesquieu's writings, liberty is seen as the freedom that individuals have to pursue their own interests and desires, as long as it does not infringe on the freedom of others. It does not imply living without laws, nor does it suggest harming others in the pursuit of one's own freedom.
