Question 5 asks if the government should be allowed to hold “threatening” people in prison for an undetermined amount of time without charging them of anything. My response to this is NO, NO, NO. If someone posed an actual threat to the well being of the government then they could be imprisoned on charges of whatever illegal acts they were planning. If there is not sufficient evidence to charge them, then they should not be imprisoned. If the government suspects that someone is a legal threat, fighting the government through perfectly legal means, they should not be imprisoned. Humans have the right to fight what they oppose, and if they do it in a perfectly non-harmful way, they shouldn’t be hindered and imprisoned.
