"A citizen in a constitutional republic enjoys liberty when government protects rights through established law. Once that government begins surveillance, censorship, or coercion justified by safety concerns, both liberty and independence erode. The surveillance state does not announce its arrival as tyranny. It arrives through incremental expansion and manufactured consent.
A country achieving separation from an empire wins independence. Whether that country secures liberty depends entirely on whether it restrains its own rulers afterward. Most post-colonial states discovered this difficult truth: removing foreign chains means nothing if domestic tyrants fill the vacuum. The declaration of independence marks only a beginning. Building institutions that preserve liberty against domestic power concentration constitutes the actual work." !
