It embodies the recognition that individuals possess inherent rights that should be protected and upheld by the state. Granting freedoms aims to ensure the equitable treatment of all citizens, enabling them to live their lives freely and pursue their personal goals, beliefs, and aspirations without undue interference or oppression.
The process of granting freedoms may involve the enactment or amendment of laws, constitutional provisions, or policy changes that affirm and safeguard specific rights. It is often accompanied by relevant safeguards and mechanisms to protect these freedoms, such as the establishment of independent judiciary systems, human rights commissions, or other bodies responsible for addressing violations and ensuring accountability.
