 The concept of being secure also runs through a good number of domestic constitutions, including those of South Africa, Jamaica, the United States, and Canada. As Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms proclaims, everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of the person, and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice. A sentence ripe for philosophical interpretation and, I believe, laden with political potential.
