People are not under the will or lawmaking authority of others but have only the law of nature for their rule. In political society, liberty consists of being under no other lawmaking power except that established by consent in the commonwealth. People are free from the dominion of any will or legal restraint apart from that enacted by their own constituted lawmaking power according to the trust put in it. Thus, freedom is not as Sir Robert Filmer defines it: 'A liberty for everyone to do what he likes, to live as he pleases, and not to be tied by any laws.' Freedom is constrained by laws in both the state of nature and political society. Freedom of nature is to be under no other restraint but the law of nature. Freedom of people under government is to be under no restraint apart from standing rules to live by that are common to everyone in the society and made by the lawmaking power established in it. Persons have a right or liberty to (1) follow their own will in all things that the law has not prohibited and (2) not be subject to the inconstant, uncertain, unknown, and arbitrary wills of others.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p><a href="/wiki/John_Stuart_Mill" title="John Stuart Mill">John Stuart Mill</a>, in his 1859 work, <i><a href="/wiki/On_Liberty" title="On Liberty">On Liberty</a></i>, was the first to recognize the difference between liberty as the freedom to act and liberty as the absence of coercion.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In his 1958 lecture "<a href="/wiki/Two_Concepts_of_Liberty" title="Two Concepts of Liberty">Two Concepts of Liberty</a>", <a href="/wiki/Isaiah_Berlin" title="Isaiah Berlin">Isaiah Berlin</a> formally framed the differences between two perspectives as the distinction between two opposite concepts of liberty: <a href="/wiki/Positive_liberty" title="Positive liberty">positive liberty</a> and <a href="/wiki/Negative_liberty" title="Negative liberty">negative liberty</a>.
