Free
A first principal preposition that serves as the foundation for all human rights. A duality of aspiration and literal interpretation.
A quality that we insist is appropriately present in things we favour while being obviously absent from all things we oppose. A feature that renders something immune from consequences, otherwise it would not be free.
Technically, nothing is free in every context, but this acknowledgement ignores the essence of the argument. The claim is that some things ought to be free, despite the fact that we accept inherent limitations. This makes it a moral claim then, one of such significance that it has been examined for thousands of years, and in such time, we have made some excellent progress, especially in secular realms.
Regardless of what you believe, this quality cannot be something we reserve solely for ourselves; it must also be given to others without question.
