Our freedoms should be absolute, up to the point of directly harming another individual. We live in a society that is too comfortable conforming to what they are being told, and do not question whether someone is infringing on their rights when they had done nothing wrong.

Our freedom is not absolute as it is subject to limits based on the safety of others.

Our rights can be limited for the safety of others. One example of this is the ongoing debate of whether we give up rights each day we enter our school. The Tinker vs. Des Moines case is a good example of this. Students who wanted to invoke their first amendment right to freedom of expression to protest the Vietnam war, were being limited by the teachers who said that they were disrupting the learning within the school for other students. While the supreme court did rule in favor of the Tinkers, it is not applicable for all situations.

I think our rights don't have to be absolute when it comes to our safety and the safety of other such as the corona virus. I do think it is important to have our rights and freedom but it should be limited if it puts lives at risk.

A government is to guide a people and guidance sometimes comes with restrictions in order to prevent chaos and disorder.

We believe that our rights should be subject to limits because the very purpose of the laws and documents that give us our right is to protect and set in order the greater population. Thus, to use the law with its full purpose in mind, the well being of the greater good should be considered when it relates to the restriction or limitation of one's rights.

The government should limit rights and freedoms when not doing so endangers the life or liberty of a greater number of people.
Examples:
You cannot say "Fire" in a crowded theatre or "bomb" in an airport.
You are required to wear a seatbelt because it not only protects you but increases the liklihood of regaining control during an accident and saving other people.

If someone's freedom endangers the livelihood of another, the government should be able to restrict or limit such actions. for example, you can not yell fire in a crowded theater.

Our rights are definitely subject to limits, it changes as the society changes. If the government feels as thought more limits should be placed on the people then they do so. An example in today’s world is abortion. The people in the  government power feel that they should be putting limits on women’s choices and on their bodies as opposed to woman having free choice over whether or not they want to have a child.

Our freedoms as people are absolute at times when we are not in crisis. Nothing the government, federal or state, does can violate the three unalienable rights of life liberty and property. However, say during a pandemic or a time of war, the government can and has implemented a draft or mandated healthcare action.

# data[].attributes.body
Our rights and freedoms are subject to limits for the sake of security, as without them some people might take too much freedom for granted. I think we should still be allowed freedom to express individuality and to live our lives with no restraints- however we should also look to keep others safe. Examples of rights are free speech, abortion, drug laws, gun laws etc.

While we have many right and freedoms, there are certain situations that don't make it absolute. These situations are to protect our society, like wearing a mask or gun regulation, and are for the greater good.

Are rights/freedoms are not absolute. If we are putting others in danger our rights should be limited to a certain extent however. For example, prisoners should not be used as free labor for large corporations, but on the other hand, not wearing a mask is putting others in danger, so people who do so should be limited.

# data[].attributes.body
While it is thought that our right are absolute and unwavering, we often find that this is not the case. Some examples are protests movements. Even though curfews and laws are put in place for the protection of the people, they believe it is their right to do so. When met with conflict by the government, this violation of their right to protest, is though of as "invading" their rights.

# data[].attributes.body
Our rights may be subjected to limits as many of the laws placed are for the benefit of the public, although some refuse to follow any sort of rules. Protests and riots are an example as even though there are police and other security to prevent people from getting hurt many still believe that they have the right to hurt another person for the betterment of others.

We are owed rights and freedoms but we have to have boundaries and limits set to make sure that everyone else is safe.

Our rights are not absolute and should be limited if the use of our rights cause danger or harm to others. The common example being that your not allowed to yell fire in crowded areas without there being a fire as that would cause madness and endanger the people.

I think that individual rights should not be absolute because sometimes an action can have really negative effects on others. For example, freedom of speech is regulated and you can’t explicitly threaten someone’s life because that endanger them.

I believe that our rights shouldn’t be absolute because, for example, if warring a mask means preventing a virus from spreading, it should definitely be required to wear a mask. The only thing O would say is that it should only be required in public places like it is here in Texas. Other places may have laws that require u to wear masks and you could get fined for that.

I do believe safety of the individual is very important however, in most aspects I do believe that freedom overrules it. Lack of proper research and misinformation may lead a majority to feel as if they need to be safe, even if they may not be.

Our freedoms are given and protected by the law, ensuring that we have safety and security in our daily lives. With that comes the innate idea that precautions should be taken if necessary to uphold that security, and therefore our freedoms are not absolute. Evidence of this can be found in daily life, as we have such trivial and minute things like driving laws that restrict our ability to use our personal property how we please, but it's overall for the greater security of those around us and their well being.

Examples like mandated masks and the patriot act infringed greatly on the individuals freedom to act as they wished. The complete mandate on masks, and the secrecy of the patriot act were highly debatable and have great power to government.

Other examples like smoking only in designated areas, and search warrants ( with probable cause) are generally acceptable as not infringing too greatly on the freedom of individuals.

Everything is subject to limits. Our rights are no exception, and the degree to which each right is limited is an individual case. Rights are limited by definition and by the effort to maximize and sustain the liberties experienced by all people.

The rights we have are not absolute--we are not allowed to yell fire in a public place, which is a restriction of the First Amendment, for example. Rights and freedoms should not be absolute when they have the potential to harm other people and put people at risk.

I believe that we must ensure safety before freedom, because if we do not prioritize safety of the majority with small adjustments like masks which may seem like freedom impairments, then we will have to restrict larger freedoms like traveling.

Ones rights and Liberties should not be absolute in cases where it either infringes on other's rights or threatens the lives of others.  An example would be free speech and bullying with David's Law.

Our freedoms should be absolute up to certain points. Take gun rights for example everyone should have the right to own and purchase a gun, but should EVERY person be able to. This is why we have rules in place of who has been granted the right to purchase a gun due to the harm that can be caused.

Our freedoms are not absolute and should be limited when they begin to threaten the safety of the public, another person, and/or their rights. For instance, our freedom of speech isn't absolute and threatening or verbally harassing someone can get you into legal trouble. Our second amendment is also limited as you need a license own and carry a weapon and not all weapons are available to the public.

Our freedom is absolute in some ways. However the government has the power to limit individuals freedom under certain circumstances. An example could be the Bill of Rights because there is some flexibilty with these rights.

Your freedom to do something doesn’t give you the right to potentially harm another person while doing that thing
For example, guns. Obviously not everyone should be able to just go out and buy a gun because it could be a potential disaster.

Our rights and freedoms should be subject to limits to the extent where it protects the security and safety of the public. They must be limited to a degree where it prevents potential compromise within our public. An example of this would be gun control where people have the basic right to own a firearm, but it should be limited to being restricted to own extremely deadly weapons such as automatic weapons.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should have basic fundamentals of our rights but there should be some limits and regulations applied. For instance, everyone is legally allowed to purchase and own a firearm, which is protected by the second amendment, but automatic weapons shouldn't be should to the general public  and should be limited.

# data[].attributes.body
Our freedoms are not absolute- like our freedom of speech and actions. These freedoms should be limited when the safety of others are at risk. For example, we do have the right to freedom of speech, but if someone were to make terrorist threats, even as a joke, they are subject to being reported because they may be deemed as a threat. Not only that, but they don't know if others around them have been a victim of terrorism or have lost someone to terrorism. We also have the right to drink, but it is illegal to drink and drive because it affects others by intruding on their safety on the road.

I believe there are limits to our individual freedoms when they begin to impact others. For example, I have no problem with you owning a gun, but you should be properly responsible and qualified to use it.
