Questions for you all
I have this online debate class I take and today some interesting questions came up. I was wondering what your opinions are.
1. What was more important. The Declaration of Independence, or the Constitution?
My own opinion is that the Declaration was way more important, because before the Constitution was made, America was ruled by the Articles of Confederation. Everybody just minded their own business, and everybody was happy. In my opinion the Constitution just made a big and controlling government.
2. Are you willing to risk your life for your freedom and others freedom?
This is a tough question. I thought about it for a long while and came to this conclusion. If we were living under military law, I would be more then happy to risk my life, for my freedom and the freedom of others. I probably would go to certain death if only for the freedom of the others around me.
3. What is your definition of freedom?
My definition of freedom is to be able to think, say, and do what I believe is truly right, without being punished for it. Some people may say "Oh, but what if you believe it's okay to kill somebody?" Well, the fact is that we all have a sense of right and wrong in us, and know that killing people is wrong.
Please answer these questions by comments because I really am interested in your opinions.

1. I also think the declaration was more important.It separated us from england, and let us be our own people.
2. I think I would. I mean, I mostly thought of this in a sense of my family, but others too. I would gladly risk my life for my feedom, I don't want to be dictated
3. hmmm.....Freedom is being able to do what you please. Not everything of course, but alot of things. Being able to practice your own religion, having certain values, being able to what is right, stuff like that.
Man, I don't think I did so good on this lol.......
Declaration-
In the title; INDEPENDENCE
2. Are you willing to risk your life for your freedom and others freedom?
This IS tough. Would you REALLY risk your very existence for a chance to be free? I would. Why? Being mega-controlled is a fate WORSE than death
3. What is your definition of freedom?
Mine is to have your own rights and beliefs and not be persecuted for beliefs. I would like to be non-pejudice, but that's always gonna be around
Also having a sense of privacy
2. I really don't know seeing as the situation hasn't arisen for me.
3. Being able to speak out without fear, democracy, bla bla bla.
2. I'm not willing to die for another's right of freedom. Or give up my own.
3. To be able to do whatever you want without being under control from any power government or local. And your sales, wage, and economy not regulated by government (socialism). And much more...
