свобода - вольность


Explanation:
freedom - свобода личная, свобода страны, право
to fight for freedom - бороться за свободу,
to enjoy freedom - :))

freedom (liberty) of speech - свобода слова - употребляются оба ( как и со всеми другими гражданскими правами)
но
to take the liberty to do smth - осмелиться
liberties - привилегии, вольности
to be at liberty - иметь право

Первое чаще как личная свобода, второе - в гражданском смысле.
