Explanation
★Harold Laski held that liberty is the product of rights, so the answer is Laski.
★For Laski, liberty is the positive enjoyment of opportunities, not just the absence of restraint.
★Such opportunities are secured only through a system of guaranteed rights.
★Rights to education, work and security give real content to a person's freedom.
★Thus there can be no liberty without an effective framework of rights.
★Laski set out this view in A Grammar of Politics.
★T. H. Green emphasised positive liberty but framed it through self-realisation.
