In the exam (French)
L'article 4 de la Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen affirme que "la liberté consiste à pouvoir faire tout ce qui ne nuit pas à autrui". Qu'est-ce que cela signifie ?
- aThat everyone can do whatever they want, without any limitQue chacun peut faire tout ce qu’il veut, sans aucune limite
- bThat my freedom ends where the freedom of others beginsQue ma liberté s’arrête là où commence celle des autresCorrect answer
- cThat only the State can decide what is allowed or forbiddenQue seul l’État peut décider ce qui est permis ou interdit
- dThat freedom depends on each person’s wealthQue la liberté dépend de la richesse de chacun
Why?
Everyone is free to act as long as they do not infringe the rights of others. It is the law that sets these limits. Freedom is therefore not unlimited: it requires respect for the freedom of others.
