Question

Which of the following core values are involved in the national debate regarding the surveillance program referred to in this scenario?
A) Liberty versus stability and order
B) Majority rule versus minority rights
c) States' rights versus federal authority
D) Common good versus freedom of expression

Answer 1

Answer: A) Liberty versus stability and order

Explanation:

Scenario not attached but this should be the correct answer.

In the debate about surveillance in the United States, the principles of liberty and stability and law and order seem to always clash. The bone of contention is that people should have the liberty to live life as they want without worrying about the government snooping on them.

The principle of stability and order however, calls for surveillance so that behavior that is not in the best interests of the country can be curbed.

For this reason, these two principles keep clashing in reference to surveillance.
