What is meant by social constraints? Are constraints of any kind necessary for enjoying freedom? (question marks 6)
Answers
Answer:
Social constraints are the external controls on individual freedom maintained by the society. The government, as a part of the society, controls individual freedom through laws that embodies the power of the government and are legitimatised. Constraints on freedom are also a result of social inequality.
Yes, Constraints are necessary for enjoying the freedom:
a. Constraints are necessary to to develop respect for the views of others.
b. It is necessary to create an equal society.
c. Absence of constraints would lead to imposition of beliefs on others and give rise to conflicts.
Example: In Indian constitution, right to practice religious affair is a Fundamental Right and government would not intervene into, but if the practice restricts other people from following their beliefs then the government would interfere into it.
