David,
without using the adverbial pronoun ‘ en ‘, the sentence you are referring to would read
“ La liberté d'expression est un droit fondamental mais il faut respecter les limites de la liberté d'expression “
That is, ‘ en ‘ is replacing the prepositional phrase ‘ de la liberté d’expression ‘, giving the sentence ‘ La liberté d'expression est un droit fondamental mais il faut en respecter les limites. ‘
This question has been addressed previously but I can’t find the link on a general search presently.
