What do Freedom and Justice Mean to me?

Freedom and justice are the words our nation is shaped around. Our constitution believes in freedom of speech and the right to a fair trail. I believe these are two examples of freedom and justice shaping our nation. As a country we stand together, united, because of our constitution.
