Are Liberty and Order at Odds?
Are Liberty and Order at Odds?
In the dictionary "liberty" is defined as "the right to act or
believe as one chooses." In that same dictionary "order" is described as "a
condition in which freedom from disorder is maintained through established
authority."(Encarta Encylopedia, 1998) When these two definitions are
compared and an incident occurs like the attack on demonstrators by police
in New York City's Central Park the question "Are liberty and order at
odds?" is answered simply by yes. There is entirely too much order in the
United States of America than promised the citizens by the United States
Constitution.
