A quick definition of liberty:

Liberty: Liberty means being free from unreasonable control or restrictions. It includes the freedom to do what you want as long as it doesn't harm others. This includes the right to learn, work, marry, have a family, practice your religion, and feel safe from harm. The Constitution protects our liberty and the Supreme Court has explained that it covers a wide range of activities and rights.

A more thorough explanation:

The term “liberty” is used in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution. It means that people have the right to be free from unreasonable control by the government. This includes more than just physical control, but also the freedom to make choices for oneself.

The right to choose one's own religion
The right to marry and start a family
The right to work in any job one chooses
The right to learn and acquire knowledge
The right to be free from unjust punishment

These examples illustrate how liberty means that people have the right to make choices for themselves and live their lives as they see fit, as long as they are not harming others or breaking the law.
