Gunston Hall Plantation's 2002 Liberty Lecture Series.
Topic:  America's Safety: At What Price to Civil Liberty?
Place:  Gunston Hall Visitor's Center
Admission:  Free

"Government . . . . ought to be instituted for the common Benefit and
Security of the People, Nation, or Community," George Mason wrote in the
Virginia Declaration of Rights of 1776, stating that "Happiness and Safety"
are two inherent natural rights of mankind.  Following the terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001, measures have been taken to ensure the
safety of the nation.  Do efforts to counter threats against national
security impose restrictions on the civil liberties of American people?
The Liberty Lectures will explore the founding principles of security and
freedom in the context of the nation's current situation.
