Restriction, constraint, restraint or limitation? There are all things that limit what you can do. A restriction is rule or law that is made by sb in authority. A constraint is sth that exists rather that sth that is made, although it may exist as a result of sb’s decision. A restraint is also that exists: it can exist outside yourself, as the result of sb else’s decision; but it can also exist inside, as a fear of what other people may think or as you own feeling about what is acceptable; moral/social/cultural restraints. A limitation is more general and can be a rule that sb makes or a fact or condition that exists.
