Yesterday, we had a fun and very thought provoking activity/discussion on what the limitations on privacy rights should be. It was interesting to hear how many different ideas there were on privacy versus safety. Elliot and Corban mentioned this quote as food for thought:
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -Benjamin Franklin
Below are three videos (about 35 minutes total) to give you a little more info on the Bill of Rights, and help you with your debate:

The link for the article is below, and if it's okay with your parents, I would like you to print it out and highlight/make notes on it.
