Liberty, Equality & Fraternity

Sans culotte (Grace Mahoney)
Which is more important- "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity" or "Order, Security and Efficiency"? Me and my fellow sans culottes believe that the French revolution is based on freedom, and should stay that way. For years we were controlled under the ancien regime by the 1st and 2nd estates, and we should not have to go through that again. It would be nice to have order, security and efficiency, but if we had that without liberty, equality and fraternity, we would never be happy. I would rather have a free country than a country without debt. Order, security and efficiency would mean nothing to us without liberty, equality and fraternity.

    Has France not learned from their mistakes? Power should not be allowed in the hands of the 3rd estate members, all it leads to is chaos! Utter chaos! What this country needs, is some order, security, and efficiency. Napoleon has the right idea, putting one divine ruler in power to advise all citizens until France is back on track. I believe you could live a very happy life through "Order, Security, and Efficiency", the country would be safe, out of debt, have public schooling, and far better relations with adjacent countries. This is the way to go.
