      Usage: {Liberty}, {Freedom}. These words, though often
                  interchanged, are distinct in some of their
                  applications. Liberty has reference to previous
                  restraint; freedom, to the simple, unrepressed
                  exercise of our powers. A slave is set at liberty; his
                  master had always been in a state of freedom. A
                  prisoner under trial may ask liberty (exemption from
                  restraint) to speak his sentiments with freedom (the
                  spontaneous and bold utterance of his feelings). The
                  liberty of the press is our great security for freedom
                  of thought.
