lib·er·ty

1.
a. The condition of being free from restriction or control.
b. The right and power to act, believe, or express oneself in a manner of one's own choosing.
c. The condition of being physically and legally free from confinement, servitude, or forced labor. See Synonyms at freedom.
2. Freedom from unjust or undue governmental control.
3. A right or immunity to engage in certain actions without control or interference: the liberties protected by the Bill of Rights.

free·dom

1. The condition of being free of restraints.
2. Liberty of the person from slavery, detention, or oppression.
3.
a. Political independence.
b. Exemption from the arbitrary exercise of authority in the performance of a specific action; civil liberty: freedom of assembly.
4. The capacity to exercise choice; free will.

de 'twighlightzone' tussen beide woorden is nogal groot.
Ik heb de indruk dat freedom eerder een soort politiek 'verworven' vrijheid is en liberty meer met persoonlijke vrijheid en eigen keuzes te maken heeft.
Maar er komen zeker nog meer suggesties.

heteronome vrijheid en autonome vrijheid


Explanation:
M.a.w 'freedom' (heteronome vrijheid) is een vrijheid die een ander persoon (of omgeving) aan jou verleent, en 'liberty' (autonome vrijheid) is een vrijheid die je zelf bepaalt.
