Freedom as the ability to act in accordance with its own interests, needs, goals determines not only existing (present), but also future socio-legal reality and defines in it the place of a person. Guaranteed and secured by positive law the possibility of realizing subjective law is the main indicator of democracy, civilization, and humanity of the state. Conversely, the restriction, negation or restriction of rights and freedoms, in particular legal means, creates the ground for the destruction of the state, and at the same time society deprives the future.
