I saw a post on facebook in which someone stated; "a just government would prioritize civil liberties over national security", which ultimately motivated me to make this debate. Now to be honest, I have always been a person who sided for an individual's liberty, and freedom but I know that there are many reasons I can think of when national security could, and should overrule the liberty of an individual but I'll let you all have that discussion in the debate below.
So my question to all of you is;
Should a country prioritize the civil rights of their people over national security?
Many situations have occurred in which countries have used companies, such as apple in one instance, to override civil liberty to help national security.To bring some argumentative points to this debate, I've posted one from both sides;Originally Posted by Huffington Post
