The United States was founded on the importance of civil liberties—protections for the individual against the control of others, whether those are other people or the government. Freedom for each person is a cornerstone of Western society. John Stuart Mill’s thoughts on liberty and the concept of freedom are among the most important frameworks on which we’ve built so much of modern society; our very ideas of limited government and personal freedom are rooted in the writings of this great political philosopher. John Stuart Mill on Liberty is a collection of some of the most important of his statements on the ideas of liberty and freedom. This book showcases his firm belief that each person should have the right to live as he or she wants to, so long as it does not harm anyone else. Much of what we now take for granted or still fight to maintain or advance, such as freedom of speech, the abolition of slavery, and the rights of women, are things Mill argued for. As you read his passionate entreaties for liberty, you’ll be amazed at how relevant and important they remain today. “In this age, the mere example of non-conformity, the mere refusal to bend the knee to custom, is itself a service.” —John Stuart Mill

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the timeIn an essay on freedom, the first is the clear definition of what is meant by freedom and what it refers to. For freedom, and already on the first line of the first page, Stuart Mill defines "social or civil liberty, that is, the nature and limits of the power that society can legitimately exercise over the individual." In other words, the right of the individual to dissent from the collective and the obligation of this collective to defend the right to discrepancy. Stuart Mill denounces "the tyranny of the majority" among the evils, against which society must be put on guard. (...) or if he dictates them (the decrees) with regard to things in which he should not mix, he exercises a more formidable social tyranny than many political oppressions, ... he leaves less means to escape from it, for he penetrates much more into the details of life and comes to chain the soul ".And what things should not be mixed society, according to Stuart Mill? On the thought, on the expression, on the decisions of individual life, on any aspect that limits the individuality. In short, the individual must be free to decide who he wants to pray, if he wants to pray; who wants to love, if he wants to love; whom you admire, if you want to admire; against who or what to fight, if he wants to fight. The only limit Stuart Mill finds to freedom is harm to another. The only limit that governments and society can impose on an individual is precisely that this freedom is aimed at harming other members of society. Thus, the individual can shout for the death of the members of the government, without this having to intervene, until the moment that this or another individual takes direct actions to carry out this idea, that is, the death of the members of the government .

THE COMPLETE CLASSIC - On Liberty by John Stuart Mill. John Stuart Mill opens his essay by discussing the historical "struggle between authority and liberty," describing the tyranny of government, which, in his view, needs to be controlled by the liberty of the citizens. He divides this control of authority into two mechanisms: necessary rights belonging to citizens, and the "establishment of constitutional checks by which the consent of the community, or of a body of some sort, supposed to represent its interests, was made a necessary condition to some of the more important acts of the governing power." Because society was-in its early stages-subjected to such turbulent conditions (i.e. small population and constant war), it was forced to accept rule "by a master." However, as mankind progressed, it became conceivable for the people to rule themselves. Mill admits that this new form of society seemed immune to tyranny because "there was no fear of tyrannizing over self." Despite the high hopes of the Enlightenment, Mill argues that the democratic ideals were not as easily met as expected. First, even in democracy, the rulers were not always the same sort of people as the ruled. Second, there is a risk of a "tyranny of the majority" in which the many oppress the few who, according to democratic ideals, have just as much a right to pursue their legitimate ends. In Mill's view, tyranny of the majority is worse than tyranny of government because it is not limited to a political function. Where one can be protected from a tyrant, it is much harder to be protected "against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling." The prevailing opinions within society will be the basis of all rules of conduct within society; thus there can be no safeguard in law against the tyranny of the majority. Mill's proof goes as follows: the majority opinion may not be the correct opinion. The only justification for a person's preference for a particular moral belief is that it is that person's preference. On a particular issue, people will align themselves either for or against this issue; the side of greatest volume will prevail, but is not necessarily correct. In conclusion to this analysis of past governments, Mill proposes a single standard for which a person's liberty may be restricted: That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant . . . Over himself, over his body and mind, the individual is sovereign.

Edward S. Corwin (1878–1963) is widely recognized as the most eminent commentator on the Constitution in our century. Largely because Corwin died before he could write the single definitive work he had planned, the political scientist Richard Loss has spent over a decade compiling and editing a three-volume collection of Corwin's major essays. Loss has chosen twelve essays for the final volume that state Corwin's arguments in political thought and constitutional law. They are responsive to the theme of limitations on governmental power. The editor has organized the essays under the headings "The Limits of Governmental Power over Property and Business," "Governmental Action and Personal and Social Rights," and "A Nation and the States." He has also included Corwin's spirited and previously unpublished address "The New Deal in the Light of American Political and Constitutional Ideas."

Originally written as a short philosophical essay, On Liberty was expanded into a book that later became one of John Stuart Mill's greatest works of all time. The author starts by emphasizing the tug of war between authority and liberty vis-à-vis political power in society then equates authority with domination and liberty with progress. He chooses against government rule, perceiving society as capable enough to run itself. Ideas and thoughts presented by Mill in his work were way ahead of his times and could be seen as a clear prediction that the future belonged to liberalism. It is inspiring to see how the author's century-old ideals still fit well into today's sense of society and provide us with a guide on how society should and should not be run His exceptions of applying government rule relate very well to the modern version of free society. Born in 1806 in Pentonville (London, England), John Stuart Mill was the most notable follower of classical liberalism. He opposed unlimited state control and championed liberty from state tyranny and liberty of speech. A representative of the Liberal Party, he was a supporter of self-governance of society and women's rights. Out of his many works, two have been the most influential, namely, Utilitarianism and On Liberty. Even a century after Mill's death in 1873, his works are still considered influential in the field of liberalism.
