Ivan is so appalled by the injustice of our suffering world that he offers an alternative through the Legend of the Grand Inquisitor.  How does Ivan suggest that the problem of suffering could be alleviated through the Grand Inquisitor and the priests of the church?
He said that people should have security instead of choices.

The Grand Inquisitor believes that Jesus does not understand human  beings.  Explain Jesus'  "misunderstanding."
He said that Christ should not have given people the right to choose things for themselves.  He wants the choices to already be made.

How the the Grand Inquisitor suggest that the church relive the the people's "burden of freedom"? 

He wants to take away the people's freedom to choose for themselves and decide for them. 

Why is suffering the price of freedom?

Because sometimes you have to go though trials before you get what you want.
