Congratulations, you've found the great exceptions to the historical trend of more people generating more law and less freedom. There's a saying in medicine, "when you hear the sound of hoofbeats, don't think zebras". You've found the historical zebras.
What? I gotta give you a list of all the ways your assertion can be proved wrong? People today have more freedom than they had 50, 100, 200, or 1000 years ago.
Sure 100 years ago children were allowed to work in factories, fathers were allowed to beat and molest their children without reprisal, and blacks were allowed to swing in trees...but most people don't apperciate those freedoms as much as the ones we enjoy today. Today people enjoy the reliogous, social, and economic freedom to travel almost anywhere in the world, read books online that were banned 50 years ago, and not be burned at the stake for practicing witchcraft.
I can think of a lot more freedoms that mandkind has secured for himself over the years. Could you please now give me some example of freedom that has been lost?
