Abstract

The central purpose of this Article is to show that through the self determination of an individual's life plan, not only is the full meaning of liberty acknowledged, the individual further recognizes that the very endowment of free will forms "the basis of our right to individual freedom of action, [and] the right to carry into execution the things we freely choose to do."
