Aristotle says in this- a Freeman has liberty to do what he likes and what will not hurt others- and if you're not allowed you're a slave. It's also has been attributed to the equivalence of Free Will- as even Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote: "a polity in which there is the same law for all, a polity administered with regard to equal rights and equal freedom of speech, and the idea of a kingly government which respects most of all the freedom of the governed."

Liberty Must Be Noticed; To Understand Inalienable Rights! | Liberty Bites Back (Clips)
Liberty is the starting point to understand - inalienable rights. As Aristotle said "This, then, is one note of liberty which all democrats affirm to be the principle of their state. Another is that a man should live as he likes. This, they say, is the privilege of a freeman, since, on the other hand, not to live as a man likes is the mark of a slave. This is the second characteristic of democracy, whence has arisen the claim of men to be ruled by none, if possible, or, if this is impossible, to rule and be ruled in turns; and so it contributes to the freedom based upon equality." (Aristotle, Politics 6.2)
