Principle of Freedom and Choice

Deep respect for and attention to human freedom and choice—as long as it does not obstruct the freedom and choice of others—and a commitment to providing diverse opportunities for decision‑making.
Freedom is the ability to carry out decisions made by an individual through their own will, without impeding the freedom of others or infringing on their sphere of liberty. Because humans live socially, they cannot enjoy absolute freedom: unlimited freedom for one person inevitably tramples on the freedoms of others. Moreover, within the bounds of their own freedom, each person has the right to choose and may select what they prefer according to the circumstances.
