Negative freedom (or negative liberty) consists of freedom from something whereas positive freedom (or positive liberty) consists of the ability to do something.
Negative freedom therefore consists of laws to combat discrimination whereas positive freedom enables those on limited incomes to lead a more fulfilled and meaningful existence.
In regard to the two main strands of liberal thought, classical liberals advocate negative freedom whereas social liberals favour positive freedom.
