For someone to struggle for freedom (any sorts of freedom), do you need to be committed? And if you do, what are some ideas how being committed is helpful to attempt to gain freedom?

Question

I thought of one point, I know you need to be committed to gain freedom because you need to keep your sights on it and never giving up. But, I need two more points and I can't think of any. If you can help me, please do!

What are some consequences does someone have to pay for struggling to gain freedom?

I thought of one point, consequences are sacrificing someone's freedom to gain freedom for the people. And I still need two points and again, if you could please help me, please do!

Sorry if my questions and/or answers are a bit awkward.

"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."
