What are the ideals of "liberty" and "security?" Liberty has been defined as "The condition of being free from restriction or control, the right and power to act, believe, or express oneself in a manner of ones own choosing, and a right or immunity to engage in certain actions without control or interference." All of these definitions express how most people view liberty. But with liberty comes the ideal of security, providing a means to protect that valued freedom that liberty provides. Security has been defined as "Freedom from risk or danger, freedom from doubt, anxiety, or fear, and something that gives or assures safety. ... People believe that their liberties are slowly but surely being devoured and that the ideals of freedom and liberty, which have been strived for since beginning with the signing of the Magna Carta, are being taken for granted and disregarded by the measures taken by the governments to enforce the security ideal. There must be a balance between liberty and security rather then a conflict. ... Security is essential in maintaining liberty as Benjamin Franklin points out in his quote, "Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves niether liberty nor security.
