| Message | We respect and charish people's freedoms, however, in national crisis and times of emergency, this government needs these provisions to be an effective government and stave off making a bad situation worse. |

| Message | "National Crisis" would be declared any time people say something against the government or attempt to protest, what the feel is, a misguided policy. Eroding these freedoms leads to tyranny, as seen across Terra. |

| Message | In fact we do not need to look beyond Malivia's borders to see the effect this can have. In our recent past we saw the rise of Facism and military rule where these loopholes where exploited. |
