One could argue from a purely philosophical standpoint that freedom can never be absolute as we are all products of both our nurture and nature. It could be argued that it must follow therefore that there is an element of predetermination to our actions. This broad category (history, politics & society) does cover philosophy but I can not be certain that you are meaning the question in this sense.
Therefore, ignoring a philosophical debate, the simple answer is that freedom is not absolute as society has found that it functions best when there are laws to govern (and therefore restrict and control) people's behaviour.

What is The absolute value of three x minus one equals the absolute value of x plus five?
First, simplify the equation: absolute (3x-1) = absolute (x+5) absolute (2x) = absolute (6) absolute (x) = absolute (3) which really means plus or minus 3, or, (+/-3) Now you have x = +/- 3, so test out x = 3 and x = -3. Test out x = 3: absolute (3*3-1) = absolute (3+5) absolute (9-1) = absolute (8) ---> absolute 8 = absolute 8 --> 8=8 which is correct! Now test x = -3 absolute (3*(-3)-1) = absolute (-3+5) ---> absolute (-9-1) = absolute (2) absolute (-10) = absolute 2 ---> 10 = 2 Since 10 does not equal 2, this is not a correct answer. Therefore x = 3.

Why are first amendment freedom not absolute freedom?
One kind of freedom can conflict with another kind of freedom, or it can conflict with legal responsibilities. Absolute freedom overrides everything, it can have no exceptions, and that is impractical. For example, there are many ways that free speech can be harmful. We do not allow fraud, slander, false advertising, or copyright violation, even though all of those are forms of speech. Society will respect someone's rights if that person will respect other people's rights in turn.
