"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Ben Franklin, 1759
Ben Franklin believed that people deserve neither liberty nor safety if they are willing to give up the first to get the other,.
Ben Franklin is correct in saying that those that are willing to give up liberty to obtain temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety because our country was founded on the idea of freedom. If you are willing to give that up you are willing to give up the basic american ideal, which means that you do not deserve to hold that right in the first place. The ideal of freedom should always be protected, otherwise that sends the message that it is not set in stone. It says that if you do not mind it does not matter.If it does not matter we should not have it in the first place. If its not there in the first place then the idea of America is dead.
Kate- good summary. Work on expanding your response with specific evidence and quotes that extend and support your thinking. This seems minimal and needs proofreading.
