Understanding this quote
The quote means that freedom does not necessarily survive when all rules disappear. Without shared limits, stronger or more aggressive actions can restrict what others are able to do. Rules may therefore protect freedom by preventing one person’s choices from taking away everyone else’s ability to act freely.
