Politically, Locke proclaimed freedom in a negative sense as freedom from coercion by the state. He regarded the people as sovereign and believed in restricting the powers of the legislature and the executive. More (2014), in contrast, posits that freedom is more than the absence of external limitation or obstacles (liberty). Critically discuss the meaning of freedom and the relationship between internal and external freedom with reference to the ‘post-apartheid’ South African context.
