Question

How does Care define "an Englishman’s liberty"?

Answer 1

Answer:

He defined an Englishman's Liberty as the "original happy frame of government, a privilege not to be exempt from law, but to be freed in person and estate from arbitrary violence and oppression".

Explanation:

Henry Care defined an Englishman's Liberty as the "original happy frame of government, a privilege not to be exempt from law, but to be freed in person and estate from arbitrary violence and oppression". He explained that even if the English monarchy enjoyed privileged rights, the presence of the law guides them as well as the people whom they rule.

This is unlike the government and monarchy in other European countries like Russia and France where the word of the monarch was law. His definition shows that the English people are free and it is only when a person breaks a law that he his freedom might be restricted.
