  4. dOnly French citizens have individual freedomsSeuls les citoyens français ont des libertés individuelles

Why?

Article 4 of the Declaration of 1789 says: “Liberty consists in being able to do anything that does not harm others.” Our freedoms therefore have limits: the rights of others, public order, the general interest and human dignity. These limits are set by the law.
