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.

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 because you do not
