Question

What is Negative liberty?​

Answer 1

Negative liberty is freedom from interference by other people. Negative liberty is primarily concerned with freedom from external restraint and contrasts with positive liberty. The distinction was introduced by Isaiah Berlin in his 1958 lecture "Two Concepts of Liberty".

Negative liberty is indefensible because freedom cannot just be denoted as the lack of many external obstacles (lack of awareness and repression) because there are internal obstacles that need to be considered too.
