  4. dBeing able to do only what the State expressly allowsPouvoir faire seulement ce que l’État autorise expressément

Why?

According to the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789, freedom consists in being able to do anything that does not harm others. Each person’s freedom therefore ends where it harms others. Only the law can set these limits.
