Solution
Liberty Indicator may be defined as the measure of the extent of demographic participation in social and political decision-making.
Explanation:
The Liberty Indicator is a measure of the extent to which demographics participate in social and political decision-making. In other words, it is an index that measures people's engagement in decision-making. Measures measuring the extent of citizens' constitutional protection rights, as well as the extent of constitutional protection of the judiciary's independence and Rule of Law, are examples of liberty indicators.
