The right of citizenship in the United States of America is a great privilege with a responsibility to uphold and abide by the laws and regulations of the Constitution of the United States. Those rights of citizenship are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. Obedience to the laws and regulations guarantee not only freedom and liberty but also protection from unlawful and potential oppression by a ruling government. In 500 words or less, discuss how the Bill of Rights today protects individual citizens of the United States from an ever growing government with a multiplicity of agencies armed with technological resources that can be invasive to our individual freedoms.
