Default Partially

I can agree only partially. After all, we have a military to protect our security. That is the primary basis for the state's existence (national defense). We would have more liberty without the existence of government than with it, but nonetheless we have to sacrifice a certain degree of liberty for security. On the other hand, once certain liberties are guaranteed in a Constitution, violating that Constitution is the ultimate threat to both liberty and security.
