  • First and foremost..not attacking someone with whom you disagree. Allowing for the possibility, however remote, that those who disagree with you may have a point. Not devolving into namecalling/insulting/accusatory attackers. That is a start! :)
  • First and foremost,recognition of the right of the individual.Republican form of government, which by definition,upholds individual rights,whereas democracy is nothing more than mob rule.
  • I'd say, being able to express one's opinion without having the F.B.I. come a knocking on your door.
  • I disagree with some other answers here because they are focusing on individual conduct, rather than society which is the core part of your question. Defining parts of a just society - a judiciary that is truly independent, a police force free from state interference, elections with independent monitors, some form of constitution that is understood and enforced.
  • A "free society" can't and doesn't exist. What constitutes "free"? No one can agree on where "free" ends and "controlled" begins. That is a bad term. A "Just" society is a society where there is equality of opportunities and there is equality before the law.
  • Freedom and justice. Was this a trick question?
  • the elements DEFINED in our Constitution.... do u NOT UNDERSTAND, America has always been the most FREE and DEMOCRATIC Society in the WORLD!!!!! many countries and peoples HATE THAT... but many peoples of many countries have ALWAYS FLOCKED to that!!! our country is fast becoming UNJUST and UNFREE....
  • I believe that the definition of a free and just society is fairly straightforward, and can be defined by a few simple points: I believe that it is everyone's right to: 1. Engage in any voluntary activity whatsoever, either alone or together with other consenting individuals. 2. Possess, use, or trade any property that you created out of your own labor, or acquired through voluntary free trade with other consenting individuals. 3. Enter into any formal contract with one or more other consenting individuals, including any contracts in which you surrender any or all of your rights therein. I believe that it is everyone's responsibility to: 1. Refrain from harming (physically assaulting) other individuals, except for self-defense from harm (physical assault) from others. 2. Refrain from taking (stealing), using (trespassing), or altering (vandalizing) the property of others without their consent. 3. Fulfill your obligations as part of any and all formal contracts that you willingly and knowingly entered into with other consenting individuals. I believe that it is the responsibility of the state to: 1. Investigate the reported violations of any of the rights and/or responsibilities specified above. 2. Conduct a trial by jury for any person accused of any such crime, regardless how minor. 3. Solicit jurists from the public at large to hear all facts, without restriction or censure, proffered by all interested parties so as to render a verdict of guilt or innocence. 4. To confine those judged guilty of crimes of physical assault from society in reasonably safe accommodations so as to protect the public form further violence. 5. To extract payment from the guilty to compensate the victim(s) and also to defray the cost to the state in holding the trial. 6. To extract payment from false witnesses to compensate the acquitted, and also to defray the cost to the state in holding the trial. 7. To confine those accused of crimes and awaiting trial in safe, clean, attractive, pleasant, and comfortable accommodations, and to provide those so confined with prompt and speedy trials.
  • i think ab -- the freedom to express ourselves through our questions and answers.
  • I would say letting businesses fail when they make bad decisions. I think the recent round of bailouts is a terrible example to be set.
  • freedom of speech
  • Have you been reading Ayn Rand?
  • It is hard to say. The definition of free to some would be unjustly for others. And the definition of bound and limited would be very just for some.
  • Love, education, and understanding
  • The greatest measure of a free society is how it treats those that are unpopular. Letting bot the Democratic party and KKK express themselves without punishment.
  • Both these terms are tricky to define and form a consensus on, which is probably a big reason why there isn't a country that truly embodies them. Fully realized freedom within a society would mean that all people are free to think and behave as they wish, with the exception for actions that conflict with other people's freedom to not be negatively influenced. A just society, I believe, would resemble John Rawles' conception. That is, the maxamin; maximizing the minimum. Given that people are born into particular situations, of varying degrees of happiness, opportunity, health, etc. and they have no ability to influence their situation prior to their birth, a just society would be one in which the most negative situation a person can be born into is maximized by the society as a whole. If the society has the ability to make sure that every child born will have adequate access to food, water, shelter, education, health care and opportunity, then there is an obligation by the society to provide it.
  • When a mechanic says you need all those repairs... He's actually telling the truth.
  • It should not be near Balkan.
  • Tolerance. Also, the only people who should qualify for capital punishment are agents of the state.
  • A large prison.
  • that would only be in a PERFECT society and there is none ......America's Constitution was to follow for American's to trying to keep a Just and Free , society....but there is not much Justice or Freedom here anymore ,for any person....
