It is acceptable to limit people’s liberties when it comes to war because if ther was no government putting this in place then everyone would assume they had some right of power and strength in the war and society. ]]> 2018-02-09 12:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/waters_sandy/czb7uc7fnkgb/wish/229988368 https://padlet.com/waters_sandy/czb7uc7fnkgb/wish/230002759 My knowledge on the limiting of civil liberties during wartime is limited. However, the knowledge I do have includes the sedition act, as well as the Japanese internment during WWII. Using these as a basis for my opinion, I will say that these were definitely past the acceptable extent of limits put on civil liberties. The Sedition Act of ]]> 2018-02-09 13:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/waters_sandy/czb7uc7fnkgb/wish/230002759 https://padlet.com/waters_sandy/czb7uc7fnkgb/wish/230060514 The repression of civil liberties during World War 1 were not justified. For example, the Espionage Act violated the 1st Amendment, which guarantees free speech. During wartime, I feel that some limitation of civil liberties is necessary to mobilize the nation. When the whole nation is in danger, the government must use its power to encourage people to help the nation, such as rationing food. ]]> 2018-02-09 15:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/waters_sandy/czb7uc7fnkgb/wish/230060514 https://padlet.com/waters_sandy/czb7uc7fnkgb/wish/230556842 I think it is okay to limit a persons freedom to protect the national security of the country. However, it should never infringe upon the rights a person has to ever make them feel as though they are not even living in the same country. ]]> 2018-02-12 13:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/waters_sandy/czb7uc7fnkgb/wish/230556842 https://padlet.com/waters_sandy/czb7uc7fnkgb/wish/230727211 I think that limiting a person's freedom during wartime is fair because the government is just trying to keep the people in their country safe but it should never infringe on a person's rights. There are ways to limit freedom without limiting rights themselves.]]> 2018-02-12 17:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/waters_sandy/czb7uc7fnkgb/wish/230727211 https://padlet.com/waters_sandy/czb7uc7fnkgb/wish/230861481 2018-02-12 23:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/waters_sandy/czb7uc7fnkgb/wish/230861481 https://padlet.com/waters_sandy/czb7uc7fnkgb/wish/230861819 I believe that a government is able to limit certain liberties in wartime if it is for both the protection of the country and the individual. It is not justified for a government to take away certain rights and personal freedoms during times of war that make a person feel unsafe in their own country - the government must balance the needs of the nation as a whole with the fundamental rights of its citizens.]]> 2018-02-12 23:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/waters_sandy/czb7uc7fnkgb/wish/230861819 https://padlet.com/waters_sandy/czb7uc7fnkgb/wish/231355794 I think that depending on the time of war it is somewhat acceptable to limit citizens to their liberties. I think that the citizens should understand and follow the rules of their country while in wartime. For instance citizens of the United States are not allowed to travel to certain countries including North Korea. ]]> 2018-02-14 02:51:05 UTC https://padlet.com/waters_sandy/czb7uc7fnkgb/wish/231355794
