Freedom
I concur with your opinion on the importance of freedom in the country. Every citizen has a right to express themselves fully, provided how the expressions are made does not come out as a nuisance to the rest of the citizens. I, however, do not think these freedoms are insufficient as stipulated by the constitution, the right to access shelter, food, education, a living wage, and healthcare have been provided for in the constitution. What may be lacking is the infrastructure to ensure everyone has access to these rights.
Equality
the founding fathers of this nation clearly stated in the fourteenth amendment the right to equal treatment. Irrespective of the status of any individual, any governing authority does not have legal provisions to interfere with the right of any individual. Even if the person is on the wrong side of the law, he/she will enjoy the equal protection of any treatment as provided by the constitution.
Order
The discussion is right on track in that freedom and equality have to be protected and carefully enforced relatively around the country. It is the most effective way of upholding civilization in the country.

Equality
Equality is a vital principle of the United States government. It protects every individual within its jurisdiction. In my opinion, it is a fundamental provision in the fourteenth amendment of the constitution, and for the sure majority of the Americans have not fully embraced this core principle hence the cases of racism and other forms of discrimination are still happening.
Freedom
I like the argument that individuals can express their opinions freely, but their expressions should be done in accordance with the stipulated regulations.
Order
Your arguments resonate with mine in that people have been allowed to assume all the powers that are not specified in the constitution. The people are therefore expected to live orderly as per the guidelines in the constitution and be part of the democratic country.

Freedom
I agree with the fact that freedom is of paramount importance in the country; one should have the right to expression without fear or intimidation from the government. For proper governance, however, the government has the responsibility of regulating how one conducts his/her business since some conducts infringe on the rights of other citizens.
Equality
It is true; equality should not even be subjected to any discussion. Everyone should first embrace diversity and acknowledge the fact that the constitution has given every citizen the right to be treated with respect and honor.
Order
I like the example, in as much as the government has the mandate to maintain law and order, it should not be done in a manner that would infringe on the citizen’s freedom of expression.
