SE/TC doubt

i have a doubt in this text completion!
Consider the spheres of human conduct carefully delineated and harmonized by the modern legal system, which is based on the idea that one person’s freedom ends where it begins to__________another person’s freedom.
this is the question

options are:
constitute
impinge upon
decimate
dampen
rule over

i was confused between impinge and decimate, but the answer is impinge (interfere) . Why isnt the answer decimate (destroy) since the idea before that says your freedom ends which is extreme so the answer should be if you destroy someone else’s freedom! why is the answer i’nterfere’ in someones freedom?

delineated means proper boundary or outline

violate on other people’s boundary

oh got it! Thanks a ton :slight_smile:
