According to Gardiner, individual liberty should be balanced with:

ASocial responsibility

BPolitical power

CEconomic freedom

DPersonal ambition

Answer:

A. Social responsibility

Read Explanation:

  • Gardiner argues that personal liberty should not interfere with the liberty of others.

  • He emphasizes that living in a society requires a compromise between personal freedom and the greater good.

  • Unchecked liberty can lead to chaos and conflict.

  • The writer (A.G. Gardiner) then expands this argument of liberty to show that liberty is not just a personal matter, but it is to maintain social liberty; he says that an individual is free to do anything he/she likes unless that does not affect the liberty of others liberty.

  • He also gives examples, such that if anyone wants to dye his hair, wants to go to bed late at night and wake up early in the morning, or wants to wax his mustaches (which, heavens forbid), he/she shall follow his/her fantasies, they do not need anyone's permission to do that.
