Do you know any words to describe the "ability to make choices"?

single-word-requests synonyms

I want to really thank everyone for the awesome suggestions.

I finally found the word I was looking for: Volition (noun)

According to the Cambridge dictionary, it means "the power to make your own decisions"

e.g., His poor mother was without her own volition.
