What Is Liberty? | Civics Explainers

Explore the meaning of liberty and its vital place in our constitutional democracy in this original digital video from GBH Education’s Civics Explainers. Learn how the Framers conceived of liberty, shaped by their historical context, and how they embedded this principle in the founding documents: the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Students will deepen their understanding of this complex principle through a real-world example and reflect on the extent to which the United States has a society grounded in liberty.
