Legal prohibitions against state control create real personal freedoms

Evidence

The less social jurisdiction there is over given activities, the greater the freedom of action in those domains. Once protective laws are built into social systems, there are certain things that a society may not do to individuals who challenge conventional values or vested interests, however much it might like to. Legal prohibitions against unauthorized societal control create personal freedoms that are realities, not illusory abstractions. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 104
