How Free Are We? |

In the United States we live by our Bill or Rights and our Constitution, which state that we are a free country and list our rights as citizens of this great country. They allow us to defend ourselves, speak our minds, and grant us many other freedoms. However, sometimes people question the amount of freedom we actually have as citizens, stating that they only offer us a certain extent of freedom. These people, I think really have no clue what freedom is and take it for granted every day. If you have never seen first hand a nation that has none of the rights that we do here, I do not think you should question our rights as citizens of the United States.
In my opinion we here in the United States are very lucky to have all the rights that are stated in our Bill of Rights and Constitution. Everything we do every day could be considered a freedom if not a privilege. We are allowed to choose our destiny in our own lives, live them however we want and not be told what to do just so long as we abide the laws. Laws that are not there to prevent us from being successful or happy, but for our own safety and the safety of your fellow citizens. Officers are there to enforce laws and protect us. Y

When I was 13 years old, I saw someone get shot in the street for public urination. That is something that stays with you for life. In this country something like that would be unheard of, however it happens often in countries that are supposedly free societies.
ou may be pulled over and possibly disagree with an officers actions, but obviously you have given him a reason to pull you over.
There are countries where you are told what to do, when to do it, and exactly how to do it. If you don’t comply, you could be shot. You have to do, say, act, exactly how the government wants you to, and will pay the price if you don’t, or even if you disagree. You can not even voice an opinion, and the only televised shows are the propaganda they decide to air. You can’t go to the store and buy whatever food you want, not b
