Do human beings have an innate instinct to be free?

I believe that people do have the innate instinct to be free. In the middle ages even though there was no social mobility, the peasant wanted to be free. They were forced to work for the upper classes.The peasants were always trying to become free in the middle ages. If they didn't succeed then they were punished by there masters. An example of a revolt in the Middle Ages is the Peasants' Revolt in 1381. It is one of the most well known rebellion in England during the Middle Ages. A person can never be truly free because of all the laws created now and back then. In the united states we have more rights and freedom than most but we still cant do what even we want. There are always consequences for our actions so we can never be truely free.
