Liberty Vs. Security

Liberty vs Security had been a major issue throughout history. In recent years there has been an increase of insecurity regarding the safety of the country. Government has stated several new laws of enforcement to attack terrorism and preserve security to the country. The United States is a nation based on their fundamental sense of freedom, also known for many as the land of the free.
