Assertion I:
   If person A is free to do more than person B, then person A has 
   more freedom then person B.

Assertion II:
   If person A is free do perform an action person B is not free to 
   perform then person A is free to do more than person B.

Assertion III:
  If person B is restricted in some way that person A is not them Person A 
  is free to do something Person B is not free to do.

Conclusion:
  If person B is more resticted than Peston A, Person A has mor freedom
  than person B.

Which step in this reasoning do you disagree with?
