TEST03 profreadm03 Part 1a

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct answer a, b, c or d. -> only one answer is correct.

The course of defence and protection of property rights did not always run smoothly. For centuries men knew regulations and severe infringement, but the attacks led to defensive responses which were on the whole victorious. Democratic revolutions elevated individuals from the status of subjects to that of citizens, and as this occurred property rights, as ingredient parts of freedom , "Mr Weber argues, "came to be considered natural rights that could be claimed by individuals against the government." Freedom consists of particular, specific rights or liberties. He classified these as rights to be free from coercion, which he calls "liberal" rights, and rights to participate in the government, which he calls "democratic" rights. In the first category he includes property rights along with others that assure freedom from coercion. He says that freedom cannot exist if only some rights are acknowledged, or if particular rights are either unduly restricted or expanded to a degree which makes them hinder other rights.
