liberty, I would think of all the rights that I have, the fact that I am not pushed or forced to do the things that I do not want to do, and the fact that I have options. If I was to define equality, I would not be as confident as I am defining liberty. In my eyes, the basics of equality means that everyone has the same rights and the same treatment. My position on Old versus New Liberty would be that I believe in new liberty. I believe that any individual have the right…
to have the liberty to act according to your own will without obstructing someone else’s liberty. For example, freedom in America has been manifested in its equal treatment to all people, freedom of speech, and political freedom, referring to the right of citizens to participate in government, all of these regardless of race, gender, nationality, or creed. Freedom in America makes it possible for everyone to work hard towards their goals, and succeed according to their ability to be the best…

Imagine what our nation would be like if we were denied our basic rights. In the Declaration of Independence it states that all men are allowed certain unalienable rights. The main rights are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. However, these rights are violated many times in literature and real life. A good example of these rights being trampled in literature is in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. In this book Scout and Jem , a little girl and boy, watch the…
1. The term “unalienable right” refers to rights that people are born with that cannot be given or taken away. Natural human rights. I think that Jefferson found it important to assert this because the colonists felt that the British government was trying to take away their unalienable rights. After he asserts that these are rights that everyone has, he uses the rest of the paragraph to explain how these rights should be protected by government. Furthermore, he explains that any government…
Abortion Rights American society is divided over the issue of abortion, the induced termination of a pregnancy. The American people are split between the facts of whether or not the government has an obligation to protect unborn children. Two extremes define people’s stance on abortion: pro-life and pro-choice, the belief that women should not terminate pregnancies and that women have the rights to decide, respectively. This is an essential argument because individual rights are the foundation…

Because I believe that you have the right to have every one of these freedoms. Not everyone has these freedoms so be grateful that you have them. If not everyone has these freedoms, they’re not living the life they want to live. If everyone got to live where they wanted to live, no one would be in poverty and more lives will be successful.…
important to citizens. Citizens have rights that back up their privacy called the Bill of Rights. The national security has its place in the law to protect the United States and its citizen from dangerous threats. The primary conflict between individual privacy and national protection is that the safety of the citizens is what bears upon whether their privacy is private or compromised. As an individual, citizens have the ability to enforce their privacy right just like they have the ability to…
of distributive justice is anchored on the foundation that human person is created in the image and likeness of God-Imago Dei (Gen 1:26); and based on this human nature, the human person possesses the universal and inalienable rights.

Hence, it is the constitutional duty of the…
