Question:

If you could be guaranteed, for the rest of your life, that you would not be the victim of any crime, harassment, or misfortune, would you be willing to give up your constitutional rights to the government?

Answer: No

Explain why or why not in about 200 words. Consider your rights under the 1st and 2nd Amendments. (Include other rights if you like, also). Would you be willing to give those up? Back up your ideas with the Constitution and materials presented.
