freedom vs. security

Which is more important security/freedom?

Are you a great mind when it comes to government? Lets see. I think to have a government that works well people need both freedom and security. There is no trait that is more important when it comes to ruling a government. After doing the Ichip simulation I found this to be truer then when we started this simulation. Here are three reasons for this opinion.

The First reason freedom is important in having a workable government is If we took away our right to speak out and give opinions or protest the government could do whatever they feel like. In a case like that no one would have a say. Another example is in the I chip simulation the citizen group was protesting against the I chip and the president ripped up one of the signs, sign threw it on the ground and stamped on it. In hat example the citizen’s freedom of speech was taken away. In this example it may not seem like a big deal but if you can never say what you think it becomes a big deal.

Another example is the case of Shay VS the U.S. In that case Shay was protesting against the Ichip and in the spur of the moment to the president shay said, “ I’m going blow up the your house.”(A.k.a. the white house) the president threw shay in jail. shay was taken to court. She was innocent because 1 she didn’t have an actual plan to blow up the white house. 2 In amendment one it stated congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise there of; the freedom of speech.

The reason that security is important is to help with security. The ichip can help protect us from Terrorists. Terrorists can be anywhere for example Wanda was a terrorist and no one didn’t knew that she was until shay’s court case. So the government’s job will be to make sure no citizens are in harm. One example is make sure Terrorists don’t attack again like they did on 9/11.That’s where the ichip come in.

The ichip is mainly positive with all the help it can do for the citizens such as, protecting us from the any harm mainly terrorists. On the negative side people who don’t get the ichip are questioned if their answers seem suspicious their are watched very closely b y the government. Which invades a person’s privacy. The government shouldn’t invade any ones privacy .Another issue is the terrorists can get the ichip with out any one knowing. That would be the next issue the ichip would have to fix.
