Exclamation Re: freedom and liberty

I think banderas has given the correct interpretation in bringing about the distinction between ‘freedom’ and 'liberty'. I only like to add that while freedom confers some specific privileges ( such as; freedom of speech, freedom of movement etc), liberty confers an individual the right to act (such as; He is at liberty to reveal the official information.)
