How can governments ensure that the restrictions placed on individual freedoms in the name of the common good are both effective and equitable for all members of society?

Governments can ensure that restrictions on individual freedoms are effective and equitable by engaging in transparent decision-making processes that involve input from diverse stakeholders. They should also provide clear and consistent communication about the reasons for the restrictions and their expected outcomes. Additionally, governments should regularly review and evaluate the impact of the restrictions to ensure they are achieving their intended goals while minimizing any unintended negative consequences. Lastly, governments should provide support and resources to those who may be disproportionately affected by the restrictions to ensure equity in their implementation.
