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.
