Hey!!
In the 2nd paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.
“We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights, that amount these are life, LIBERTY, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the declaration, greatly admired John Locke.
Locke’s list of natural rights (in which no one can take away) includes the right to property which in his definition, includes Liberty(freedom).
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
In 1783, the United States had a much more hands-off approach to foreign policy. The country was too young, and was not very developed yet, and this meant that the U.S. government was primarily interested in keeping the country internally stable.
By 1828, the United States had become a stronger and wealthier country, and was becoming more active in foreign policy matters. To start, in 1812 it launched a war against Britain for the control of Canada, which it lost, and by 1828, the U.S. had the goal of taking much of the Northern territories of Mexico.
I discovered that a key moment in Roman history was a very little-discussed raid by pirates on the Port of Rome at Ostia.
Rome was at that point the dominant world superpower, and there was no state in the world that would ever have dared to attack Rome. But the Romans were attacked by a group of stateless desperados who set fire to the Port. The flames may well have been visible in Rome itself. And this sent a shockwave through Rome, because if pirates could strike that close to the imperial capital, nowhere was safe.
And in this panicky atmosphere - an atmosphere of panic, I might say, which was deliberately whipped up by ambitious politicians - the Roman people took a series of fatal steps, surrendering some of their liberties and some of their control over their government. And in doing so, they sewed the seeds of the destruction of their own democracy.
And the more I looked at that event, the more it seemed familiar to me and the parallel with 9/11 - and in particular the response to it.
