Pluralization and Freedom

Pluralization consists in a positive variation of some given condition. In contrast, Freedom entails a mere negation of an antecedent. Thus, for example, the U. S. Declaration of Independence is a contentless negation of a prior relation to England, whereas the Constitution presents a positive variation on a Monarchic system. Likewise, it is no accident that today's 'individualists', who conceive themselves as independent of a collective, are among the staunchest advocates of 'freedom', often expressing themselves as mere opponents of some policy, without offering a constructive alternative.
