About This Quote

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance" Benjamin Franklin, while saying this quote, was not referring to freedom in the sense of personal freedom. He was referring to freedom in the sense of freedom for all people. Freedom, according to Franklin, was not something that could be taken for granted. Franklin believed that all Americans should be vigilant about their freedoms because it could be easily taken away. The government had an unlimited ability to control citizens' lives, if it desired to do so.
