It later became a unit of History of local government in England, local government administration. Liberties were areas of widely variable extent which were independent of the usual system of Hundred (country subdivision), hundreds and boroughs for a number of different reasons, usually to do with peculiarities of land tenure, tenure.

Liberties Of England
Liberty is the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views. The concept of liberty can vary depending on perspective and context.

Sometimes liberty is differentiated from freedom by using the word "freedom" primarily, if not exclusively, to mean the ability to do as one wills and what one has the power to do; and using the word "liberty" to mean the absence of arbitrary restraints, taking into account the rights of all involved. In this sense, the exercise of liberty is subject to capability and limited by the rights of others. Thus liberty entails the responsible use of freedom under ...
