Expert Solution

Step 1

Privacy is better described by the negative right (liberty), as it ensures that the person has complete freedom to choose whether to keep a piece of information private or public. He or she may choose their own religion at will. For instance, a person may win the jackpot but chose not to notify anybody for fear of provoking jealousy. He made the decision to keep this knowledge secret since he is free to determine how to live. Additionally, he gave the lottery inspector instructions to keep it a secret. The crucial similarity to use in this case is the freedom to keep anything secret or open.
