Can someone please type this paper for me thats due today?

Liberty is important to Americans. Notice that politicians complain that the other side’s legislation or political philosophies are stripping away your liberties.

Liberty is another way to say freedoms. What are your freedoms or liberties? Please do not go running off to the Bill of Rights. I mean what are your liberties. What do you personally hold true? Since you all are college students I am guessing that one of your liberties is access to inexpensive higher education. Liberties change over time. Did you care about inexpensive access to higher education fifteen years ago? Probably not. Your liberties when you were ten, or twenty, of forty, or sixty are different. For example, those of us in our 40s are very worried about the GOP plan to end Medicare as we know it. When I turn 65 I want Medicare to be there for me. That is one of my liberties -affordable health care. Liberties change over time. How Americans viewed their collective liberties in 1950 were different that in 1850 or 1750 and our collective liberties in 2051 will be different than our national liberties today. During the colonial era, liberties were intimately connected to access to cheap, abundant farm land. From growing your food to voting on colonial matters, you needed to own land. "The West" was a liberty in the first half of the nineteenth century but still tied to cheap and abundant land. After the Civil War, suffrage became a national liberty. How many of you voted in the 2008 presidential election? Only about 33% of eligible voters did vote. After the Civil War turn out was above 80%. Throughout this early period (1492-1877), another liberty was the freedom to be left alone. People believed that when government involves itself in your life, you lose liberties. So until the 1930s, government did next to nothing besides delivering mail. The good news was, of course, almost no taxes. The bad news was of course when Indians attacked, or the river flooded, or your homestead burned to the ground, there was no government there to help you. Why did people not flee the hurricane in New Orleans? Instead they climbed to the roof of buildings and held up signs asking the government to bail them out. That is because one of our liberties is an expectation that government will be there for us. We no longer hold self-sufficiency as a liberty. Liberty changes over time both on an individual and national basis. Dr. Ross-Nazzal
