Supporting quotes from his "On Liberty" are provided throughout.From the Paper:
"In his book On Liberty, John Stuart Mill differentiates himself from many of the political philosophers before him. When he discusses liberty he focuses not on civil liberties and the purpose of government, but rather the extent to which individuals must conform their ideas and actions to the conventions of the society in which they live. Mill describes this as he nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual."More papers on "On Liberty":
