Only during times of unparalleled crises are the American people able to truly take notice of
the strengths, weaknesses, and values of the society for which they live. At these times it is
crucial that we keep careful watch over the structural integrity of the rights and laws that this
nation is built upon. During the recent outbreak of Covid-19, law-makers, leaders, and the
American people have been forced to make a choice between freedom or death. The states and
federal government have had to make the difficult and extremely important decision as to
whether the right to life takes precedence over the right to liberty.
