Freedom--Ethen

Freedom is something some people take for granted.  It is when you can do or think however you want within reason. Many people saved hundreds from concentration camps and death.   Many people in other countries do not have the freedom like American people do. Many nationalities make up American, many have pride to be Americans and many take it for granite. Many people come to America so that they have more freedom in this country then they did in their home lands.  Are own American constitution talks about the preamble, are the principles of the United States and Article 1 of the constitution, the setup of the government.  The constitution represents the foundation of America which started with individuals wanting freedom from religious persecution. Like the Jews, Germans wanted to rule over them.  The constitution also goes over how you can become a citizen, not all Americans were native to the United States. Freedom is not just about slaves becoming free or people escaping dictatorship, it is about having the right to vote the way you feel and to make laws that all can live by. In America you have the right to stand for what you believe in and not get killed as long as it does not harm others. In our country we have the most freedom as citizens. In other countries you could get killed for burning your country flag. Which if you burn a flag you don’t have much pride for that county. Many people sacrificed their lives to save the Jews from the Germans. Many Americans thought it was their responsibility. Freedom is not free; it cost the most, lives. We take for granite in this country, we can stay our late, we can hang out with any race of people we desire to. We can be ourselves. There are laws but they are to protect ourselves, because without laws there are those people who would do wrong. Laws are for peace. Everyone needs freedom in their lives, millions of Jews died due to the race and religion, people die today due to their race and religion. Freedom is what makes up American and makes us human. This applies to me because some of my family were immigrants from Germany and tried escaping because of the dangers of being there.
