Richard Sulík was special adviser to Ivan Mikloš and Ján Počiatek, the country's two Ministers of Finance, with whom he worked to simplify the tax system and implement Slovakia's 19% flat tax. He announced his intention to found Freedom and Solidarity on 10 October 2008, calling for a party dedicated to economic freedom and questioning the commitment of the Slovak Democratic and Christian Union – Democratic Party (SDKÚ–DS) to that objective.{{cite news |title=Jeden z autorov daňovej reformy Sulík zakladá novú stranu |newspaper=SME |date=11 November 2008 |url=http://www.sme.sk/c/4170206/jeden-z-autorov-danovej-reformy-sulik-zaklada-novu-stranu.html |language=sk}} Analysts cited a lack of any liberal party in the country. After securing the 10,000 signatures required to found a party, SaS made its public debut in February 2009,{{cite news |title=Richard Sulík rozbieha stranu Sloboda a Solidarita |newspaper=SME |date=12 March 2009 |url=http://www.sme.sk/c/4346276/richard-sulik-rozbieha-stranu-sloboda-a-solidarita.html |language=sk}} ahead of the 2009 European Parliament election on 6 June. The party set publicly declared goals of entering the National Council of Slovakia in 2010 and entering government in 2014.

At SaS's founding congress in Bratislava on 28 February 2009, Sulík was elected as Chairman and Jana Kiššová as General Manager. SaS selected economist Ján Oravec, to be its candidate for the 2009 European Parliament election in Slovakia.{{cite news |title=Stranu Sloboda a Solidarita povedie ekonóm Sulík |newspaper=Slovak News Agency |date=28 March 2009 |url=http://aktualne.centrum.sk/domov/politika/clanek.phtml?id=1178613 |language=sk}} The party supported the SDKÚ–DS candidate Iveta Radičová in the 2009 Slovak presidential election in March and April; she was defeated in the second round.{{citation needed|date=September 2021}} With others, Sulík was approached by Declan Ganley to join the Libertas.eu alliance of Eurosceptic parties for the European elections but turned down the invitation in order to remain independent. While he was also a sceptic of the Lisbon Treaty and more generally a critic of European intransparency and bureaucracy, he did not share the isolationist position of Libertas. In the 2009 European Parliament election, SaS received 4.7% of the votes, just missing the 5% election threshold; SDKÚ–DS accused SaS of unnecessarily furthering the fragmentation of the political right in Slovakia. In the 2009 Slovak regional elections, SaS won one seat in Bratislava.{{citation needed|date=September 2021}}

In late 2009, SaS promoted a referendum striving for major cuts to politicians' privileges. The demands included downsizing the Slovak parliament from 150 to 100 MPs, scrapping their immunity from criminal prosecution and limits to be placed on the public finances spent on government officials' cars. Furthermore, they demanded that the radio and television market should be further liberalized, abolishing concessionary fees, and public officials' right to comment and reply to media coverage should be removed from the press law.{{cite news |title=Referendum 2009 committee seeks simultaneous vote with parliamentary elections |first=Zuzana |last=Vilikovská |newspaper=The Slovak Spectator |date=26 January 2010 |url=http://spectator.sme.sk/articles/view/37748/10/referendum_2009_committee_seeks_simultaneous_vote_with_parliamentary_elections.html }} In January 2010, SaS announced that by the end of 2009 it had managed to collect the 350,000 signatures needed in order to call a referendum. SaS forwarded the signatures to the Slovak president Ivan Gašparovič, requesting him to schedule the referendum for the date of the parliamentary election on 12 June 2010.{{cite news |title=Sulík posúva referendum, Gašparovičovi neverí |newspaper=SME |date=12 February 2010 |url=http://www.sme.sk/c/5237653/sulik-posuva-referendum-gasparovicovi-neveri.html |language=sk}}

In March 2010, people reported Sulík to the police for the content of the manifesto for the 2010 Slovak parliamentary election, arguing that the party's manifesto commitment to legalisation of cannabis constituted the criminal offence of "spread of addiction".{{cite news |title=Trestné oznámenie na predsedu SaS preverí bratislavská prokuratúra |newspaper=SME |date=25 March 2010 |url=http://zilina.sme.sk/c/5300981/trestne-oznamenie-na-predsedu-sas-preveri-bratislavska-prokuratura.html |language=sk}} This was thrown out by the prosecutors, who refused to press charges.{{cite news |title=Sulík nešíril toxikomániu, ako si mysleli Žilinčania |newspaper=SME |date=4 May 2010 |url=http://zilina.sme.sk/c/5358646/sulik-nesiril-toxikomaniu-ako-si-mysleli-zilincania.html |language=sk}} The party's candidates were the most open about the state of their personal wealth.{{cite news |title=Fair-Play Alliance: Candidates Are Not Transparent About Their Wealth |newspaper=Radio Slovakia International |date=9 June 2010 |url=http://www.rozhlas.sk/inetportal/rsi/core.php?page=showSprava&id=29795&lang=2 }} In the election to the National Council, SaS received 12.1%, coming third, and won 22 seats. The party was the only one in opposition that took votes from Direction – Social Democracy (Smer–SD), although it was estimated that more of its votes came from former SDKÚ–DS voters.{{cite news |title=SaS is attracting voters from Smer and SDKÚ-DS; Most-Híd from SMK |first=Zuzana |last=Vilikovská |newspaper=The Slovak Spectator |date=3 June 2010 |url=http://spectator.sme.sk/articles/view/39093/10/sas_is_attracting_voters_from_smer_and_sdku_most_hid_from_smk.html }}

The party entered into coalition negotiations with three centre-right parties, namely the Slovak Democratic and Christian Union (SDKÚ–DS), Christian Democratic Movement (KDH) and Most–Híd. The parties agreed a common programme and allocated ministries, with SaS controlling four ministries as well as choosing the Speaker of the National Council. During the negotiations, Igor Matovič, one of the four MPs elected on the SaS list from the Ordinary People faction, alleged that he had been offered a bribe to destabilise the talks, prompting Sulík to make a formal complaint to the prosecutor.{{cite news |title=SaS: R.

In February 2011, Igor Matovič was ejected from the caucus for voting for Smer–SD's proposed restrictions on dual nationality.{{cite news |title=Coalition loses another MP |last=Terenzani-Stanková|first=Michaela |url=http://spectator.sme.sk/articles/view/41611/2/coalition_loses_another_mp.html |newspaper=The Slovak Spectator |date=10 February 2011 |access-date=20 March 2011}} Ordinary People filed to become an independent political party on 28 October 2011 and run as a separate list, along with two small conservative parties. In the 2012 Slovak parliamentary election, SaS received 5.9% of the vote, placing it the sixth-largest party in the National Council with 11 deputies.{{citation needed|date=September 2021}} In the 2014 European Parliament election in Slovakia, SaS came in sixth place nationally, receiving 6.7% of the vote and had one member elected as a Member of the European Parliament.{{cite web|url=http://ep2014.statistics.sk/EP-dv/Tabulka3_en.html |title=Elections to the European Parliament 2014 |access-date=2014-06-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140528053354/http://ep2014.statistics.sk/EP-dv/Tabulka3_en.html |archive-date=28 May 2014 }} In the 2016 Slovak parliamentary election, the party received 12.1% of the vote, coming in as the second-largest party in the National Council with 21 deputies, exceeding expectations and making it the most successful election in SaS history.{{citation needed|date=September 2021}}

{{expand section|date=March 2024}}

Following the 2014 European Parliament election, Sulík questioned the involvement of SaS within the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe group (ALDE group), with speculation that the party could instead switch groups to join the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR group).{{cite news |last=Goldirova |first=Renata |date=27 May 2014 |title=Slovak Liberals unsure of EP group |url=http://euobserver.com/eu-elections/124374 |access-date=6 May 2020 |newspaper=EUobserverer |location=Oxford}} While Sulík joined the ALDE group as Member of European Parliament for the start of the 8th European Parliament, he later defected to the ECR group on 2 October 2014.{{cite web |title=SAS leader Richard Sulik leaves ALDE and applies to join ECR |url=http://www.aecr.eu/sas-leader-richard-sulik-leaves-alde-and-applies-to-join-ecr/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117023407/http://www.aecr.eu/sas-leader-richard-sulik-leaves-alde-and-applies-to-join-ecr/ |archive-date=17 November 2015 |access-date=7 October 2014}}

completely opposed to those of Fico's First Cabinet and ruled out cooperating with him. The party cites a need to close the budget deficit, and advocates reforming the social insurance system. Sulík's proposal for a welfare and tax system reform, the Contribution Bonus, is based on a combination of flat tax, basic income, and negative income tax; it aims to streamline the system and cut unnecessary expenses and bureaucratic overhead.{{cite web|url=https://sulik.sk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/odvodovy-bonus-sulik-cmorej.pdf|title=Slovensko potrebuje Odvodový bonus|website=Sulik.sk|language=sk|date=February 2018|access-date=24 September 2021}} SaS is notably civil libertarian, being the only major party to campaign for same-sex marriage or for the decriminalisation of cannabis, which put it at odds with its socially conservative past coalition partner, the Christian Democratic Movement (KDH). SaS is also notable for being the only party to be opposed to minimum wage increase, advocating instead for its abolition.{{cite book|last=Domonkos|first=Stefan|chapter=Slovakia: perpetual austerity and growing emphasis on activation|editor-last=Theodoropoulou|editor-first=Sotiria|title=Labour Market Policies in the Era of Pervasive Austerity: A European Perspective|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yv9oDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA303|year=2018|publisher=Policy Press|isbn=978-1447335870|page=303}}

In the European Parliament, SaS is a member of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR group), which does not completely reject the idea of common Europe; party members consider the EU to be a good project, which requires reforms.
