Question

1. which is a reason for limiting individual freedoms?

to protect public safety and order
to ensure freedom is absolute
to prevent all forms of dissent
to promote only popular views

Explanation:

In a society, individual freedoms are not absolute. The concept of limiting freedoms often ties into the social contract theory (a key theory in political science, a sub - field of Social Science). One of the main justifications for any form of governance (and by extension, limiting freedoms) is to maintain public safety and order. If freedoms were completely unrestricted, there could be chaos (e.g., people could harm others under the guise of freedom). Ensuring freedom is absolute is a contradiction because in a social setting, freedoms of different individuals can conflict. Preventing all forms of dissent goes against the idea of a democratic or even a functional society where different viewpoints can lead to progress. Promoting only popular views is also undemocratic as it suppresses minority voices. Protecting public safety and order is a legitimate reason as it is in the collective interest.

Answer:

To protect public safety and order
