Journal 24: Freedom and Equality

Freedom and equality are the two most fundamental idea of the American ideal and the lives of American people and is imprinted in every American's ideologies. In the Constitution, it is mentioned that natural rights are the rights given to the people of the United States to the right of life, right of liberty, and the right to pursuit happiness. The reason why these ideals are so fundamental in the creating of America and the ideology of the American people is because America is founded upon the ending of a tyranny, the English empire, so naturally, these three ideas are the ones that will be highlighted because not only are these three rights important, but also it is being neglected upon. The right to freedom is of the most essence because freedom is what they do not have under the tyrannical control of England because it is a monarchy and the king does whatever it likes and whatever it can within the boundary of the country so freedom is what the people want. In the Constitution it is stated that "all men are created equal" and that equality is a very important idea because the oppression from the English government is very overwhelming and the representation is also of a key issue. I think i live in a free society because although there are laws, we are educated to think that whatever is defined as criminal activity we don't feel comfortable doing.
