In a three paragraph essay, with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion, answer the following question. Sometimes when the United States is threatened, some people think it is okay for people’s rights to be limited or restricted. For example, after September 11, some people thought that the United States government should have whatever power it needed to find and fight terrorists in our country, even if it meant holding people in prison without charging them with crimes or using wire taps on people’s phones without evidence that they had done something wrong. Similarly, during the 1950s, as the United States was afraid of the Soviet Union and Communists, some people went beyond the traditional rights of government to try to find the Communists in our society and in our government. Is it okay for the government to restrict or limit the rights of Americans in order to keep our country safe? Use examples from the fight against Communism in the 1950s and against terrorists today to support your argument.
