—Synonyms
Freedom, independence, liberty refer to an absence of undue restrictions and an opportunity to exercise one's rights and powers.
1. Freedom emphasizes the opportunity given for the exercise of one's rights, powers, desires, or the like: freedom of speech or conscience; freedom of movement.
2. Independence implies not only lack of restrictions but also the ability to stand alone, unsustained by anything else: Independence of thought promotes invention and discovery.
3. Liberty, though most often interchanged with freedom, is also used to imply undue exercise of freedom: He took liberties with the text.
Well that's what the online dictionary says anyway!!!
For me freedom can apply to many different strands and types of freedoms IE physical (free of movement) & mental (freedom of thought)
Whereas as I would use liberty with more of a movement feel to it and less to describe a thought process

Hey Flower ... thanks for your input. Ineresting thoughts

My turn ... if I may?
To me:
Between motivation and reaction, man has the Freedom to Choose .... Inner mind (mental) experience
And Liberty is more connected to indicate external circumstances. Sitation
Right? Which gives us an option to use BOTH Words ( for a proper situations) in our vocabulary but we do not see Liberty used much cause it seems like they are totaly different.

Agreed!!
I mostly have heard (in SE UK) the word liberty in the expression "to take liberties" meaning to take advantage ... Have also heard of "civil liberty" in the sense of the freedom of a citizen ...
