🗽 Rights of Freedom (Art. 2 GG)
-
Everyone has the right to freely develop their personality provided they do not violate the rights of others or act against the constitutional order or moral law.
-
Simply put: Everyone may live and be as they wish, but they must not harm others or break the rules for living together peacefully. For example, one may not physically harm others and everyone is free to move and make their own choices.
-
Meaning:
-
Everyone can decide how to live, which work to do or which hobbies to pursue.

-
Examples in everyday life:
-
- You can move wherever you like, without the state stopping you. For example, you may go to the cinema or visit friends in your free time as long as you don’t harm anyone.
- You can choose which clothes to wear, whether colorful, simple or flashy, as long as you don’t insult anyone or disturb the order.
- You can freely express your opinion, for example in a conversation or on social media, as long as you respect the rights of others and don’t insult anyone.
