I am not sure about official rankings. But "freedom" in the English tradition is quite flawed.
The dominant paradigm is "if it is not permitted it is forbidden".
Those of us in the colonies went a long way to get away from that.

Oh gosh. It’s the exact opposite. The a principle of Common Law is ‘everything which is not forbidden is allowed’ (the US for example has done reasonably well on that principle).
