freer than vs more free

Both 'freer than' and 'more free' are correct constructions in English, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Freer than' is commonly used when comparing the degree of freedom between two things. Meanwhile, 'more free' is used when emphasizing the level of freedom of a single entity.
