Liberty: Treatise #2's Definitional Framework Examined

Beers's second treatise builds a definitional framework around 'consent,' the 'person/man' distinction, and 'liberty' that produces real doctrinal observations alongside real overreach. The definitional moves are partially supported by Supreme Court vocabulary on liberty and statutory construction; the framework as a whole collapses operative law into rhetorical categories that don't survive primary-source verification.
