Freedom is not free.
Freedom is not the license to do whatever you desire.
It is the opportunity to become who you are.
Existentially speaking, we are "condemned to freedom" as Sartre stated.
True liberty is living as we should, not as we please
"Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams
"Do not ever let anyone claim to be a true American Patriot,
if they ever attempt to separate religion from politics." George Washington
There exists nothing like the so-called absolute liberty, there has to be
guidelines for liberty. This is established so that nobody could misuse one's
liberty against oneself or others. You are free in all what you do in a way
that does not violate other people's rights and liberties.
James 1:25 - But he who looks into the perfect law,
the law of liberty, and perseveres,
being no hearer that forgets, but a doer that acts,
he shall be blessed in his doing.
The Bill of Rights was attached to the Constitution to ensure that the people of the United States of America remain a free people. It was given to ensure that the people would always retain the ability to change the government when said government started to usurp unlawful authority over the daily affairs of individuals, usurping their rights in exchange for some so called rights of the State or the rights of a political majority ( or minority, as the case may be).
THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or of the right of the people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
THE FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
THE NINTH AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
