切分句子

1.总体上看本句是主系表结构，是一个倒装句，后面有一个which引导的定语从句，which指代his view of freedom；

2.从句的主干是which was associated with the rights and responsibilities，主谓间的for him是插入语；

3.冒号后是主谓宾结构，解释说明的作用，宾语中有and 连接的两个并列定语of thought and of personal expression共同修饰 freedom，显然后面of 和 and中间省略了freedom。

参考译文

尤为重要的是他对于自由的观点，对于他来说，这种观点是与个人的权利和责任联系在一起的：他倡导思想自由和个人言论的自由。
