Must-Read: Quentin Skinner: Liberty Before Liberalism and All That
Brad DeLong
John Locke is considered to be the "father" of English liberalism. His view of freedom is freedom of action rather than legal status.
T]he Idea of Liberty, is the Idea of a Power in any Agent to do or forbear any Action, according to the determination or thought of the mind, whereby either of them is preferr’d to the other. (E1-4 II.xxi.8: 237) — Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
