Prepare: Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read chapters 8, 9, and 10 in American Government and watch the video, Episode II – It’s a Free Country.
Reflect: Our political system is characterized by certain fundamental features to include a system of laws, rights, and liberties.

The need for homeland and national security can create a dilemma where conflicts emerge between these security needs and the demands for civil rights and liberties.
