If you ask the average American why they think the United States is the best place to live, most would answer that the greatest benefit of being an American is the personal freedom granted by the government. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights grant every American citizen certain inalienable rights; rights that can never be taken away. However, as we all know, with freedom comes responsibility. Americans are expected to defend the sovereignty of the country, and the defense of a country comes in many forms. You can defend the borders of the nation by joining the Armed Forces. You can also defend the sovereign freedoms that this nation grants you by voting. People often |
