Does Freedom Require Virtue

Does Freedom Require Virtue Throughout history poets such as Sophocles, Plato, and Augustine have discussed what it is to be a virtuous person.

With them I would not be able to do what I want and others will treat me with respect and dignity that a free person deserves. One must be able to stand up for themselves and at the same time be there for someone who is less fortunate.
