Political Freedom and Equality gives an Individual the freedom to choose.

The Freedom and Equality afforded the Individual, in a Democracy, is the freedom and equality, that everyone, living in that democracy, has as a matter of Law. This 'human condition' cannot be interfered with. As a matter of fact, a democratic government must protect 'that' individual freedom. The Government is an 'institutional organization' and the Individual is a living human being. Of course, there has to be some control by government, but that control relates to 'legal structures' allowing and recognizing the 'maximum expression' of the principle of life. No activity, in 'consonance with life', can be curtailed by Government. Government can only help with the 'expression of life' within the legal institutions set up by the government. Of course, there are still some long standing, important issues, that relate to government institutions and laws, that still need to be resolved; like the Death Penalty; some forms of racial discrimination; etc., but the most recent issues that has arisen relates to the economy. There is no 'catchy name' attributable to this recent issue, but the issue is an 'economic issue'. What are the Peoples rights in relation to an 'economic standard' established by the Nation, for economic survival within the Nation? Since, a Capitalistic economy is separate from the political values of a democracy, how do we handle poverty, work, health, availability of jobs, etc.. Government must take care of its People, and must establish institutions that protect the human welfare, as well as, the economic welfare of the individual; but government, or better yet, the Law, which is a Branch of the Government, seems to favor the 'evolving Rights' of the corporations, "legal fictions", to the point, where the medium of exchange, is being held 'hostage' by only the top 1% of the people in the Nation. The issue seems to be; can a Capitalistic economy dominate the medium of exchange, a standard set by government, to the point where the 'medium of exchange' is not being 'exchanged'; i.e. its hoarded by 1% of the People? The more important issue is does the government have a right to 'compel circulation' and to establish 'economic institutions' that 'helps' those not included in the top 1%. Capitalism is viable because it exists within a democracy; it will not work in an Autocratic form of government, where the Government holds possession of the 'means of production'. Both Government and Capitalism must work in concert; but, 'money and possessions' must never be more important than the 'political value system' of Freedom and Equality. An economic and social system that favors the top 1%, cannot hold together for long. Only Freedom and Equality can hold a democracy together; and freedom and equality gives an individual the right to choose his means of subsistence; but only the government can provide the opportunity.
