“The word “liberty” as used in the state and federal Constitutions means, in a negative sense, freedom from restraint, but in a positive sense, it involves the idea of freedom secured by the imposition of restraint, and it is in this positive sense that the state. in the exercise of its police powers, promotes the freedom of all by the imposition upon particular persons of restraints which are deemed necessary for the general welfare” (Fitzsimmons v. New York State Athletic Commission, Supreme Court of New York, 1914).
