moriaine, hi dear
freedom and liberty are pretty much the same in definition. sometimes their usage is different.. both mean free,liberated and such.. for example, we all have freedom to do what we want whenever we want.. for liberty, example, boy, i have liberty to do what i want tonite... compel is to force someone or something to do something it doesnt want to do, for oblige, is constraint... for example oblige to find a job(oblige=forced), or indebted, example, im much oblige for the help sir..(oblige=forced to repay a debt)... i hope some of this makes sense...
