Does freedom exclude responsibility? Do laws, severely enforced, promote responsibility?
I believe freedom does not exclude responsibility because there are many men and women who choose to fight to protect us to even have freedom. Of course there are the laws that keep people from having complete freedom of what they want to do. Everyone has responsibilities in order to maintain a freedom type state. If everyone just did what they wanted and forgot about responsibilities there would be no freedom because there would have to be a constant force to keep everyone under control. The people would think they have all the freedoms in the world but right behind them would be a force to keep everything in order. Laws that are severely enforced would promote responsibility because everyone would be worried if they screwed up they would face a consequence but that would take a lot of time and money for laws to be enforced severely. The people would have to watch what they do or just to make sure they were not caught in the act or afterwards if they did something wrong. It is the constant fear or thought of being caught is what would make people think responsibly.
