There is a public/private split (there is a private sphere where the government can"t interfere) Power: believe that in order to secure the freedom of individuals, the power of the government must be limited. Social hierarchy: the ability to do what you want in society, make the decisions that suit your life. Economy: do what you want with your own stuff/money/trade/markets. Human nature: think of everyone as individuals. Believe that everyone is independent and are responsible for their actions.
