Should commitment to the ideals in the Constitution extend beyond our borders?) • 5. Historically, why has there always been a struggle between security and liberty? • 6. How has the government’s commitment to “establish justice” changed over time? (How has the definition of “justice” changed historically to become more inclusive?)
