I think the best definition came from John Paul II:

“Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.”

That is a wise way to put things. I assume you substituted the word “freedom” for “liberty,” which is another term our local officials ought to define publicly before we admit them to the ballot.

“Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.”

Who determines what we “ought” to do?
