Thus, it must be remembered that the said “trumping of the Bill of Rights” is merely a temporarily act of national security and liberties are returned to the people at the end of wartime. Additionally, with respect to the article “At War with Civil Rights and Civil Liberties”, we can observe that in such times the Bill of Rights is not disregarded, but in fact, expanded. Voting rights for African Americans and women were both granted during times of war. Therefore, I would argue that people exaggerate the severity of their loss of rights. During wartime, restriction is temporarily, necessary, and often results in even more rights for the people.

The Bill of Rights stands almost as an extra checks and balance for our government when making decisions. I would argue that while the American people will fight to protect their nation, they will fight even harder to protect their civil liberties and rights.
