Political liberalism deals with the idea that people should be allowed to live a free life. Power should not be exercised to make people do things that otherwise they do not want to do. Usually, when it comes to power, the government forces the people to do things, making them believe that they are suitable for them. Instead, there is no benefit of people in such things; actually, it is the people in power who benefit from such actions. So the laws made by the government should be equal for all, and one should be able to live in peace.
