The Core values are Liberty, Democracy, Equality, Individual responsibility. We have the right to liberty and The Pursuit of happiness. The right to justice, equality, and freedom of Speech. 




 What responsibilities does the government have to honoring these core values?What responsibilities do individual citizens have to preserve these core values? 


Government:

Life
Liberty
The Pursuit of Happiness
If a citizen wants privacy the government should give it to them
Allow citizens the right to buy property


Citizens:
Pay Taxes
Work
Show Patriotism
Respect and obey the Laws
Vote


How might some or all of these core values be important to the preservation of a free and independent press? 


 The values are important because without them we would not be able to speak our minds about a situation. When we do have to say something I think that it should be something that respects the laws.

Citizens are allowed freedom of speech. The can demand the truth as long as one is not doing anything to break the laws.


What responsibilities do producers of information have to these core values and their fellow citizens when distributing information? 


Since Citizens are allowed Freedom of Speech and Press, the producers are allowed to produce what they want. They should not produce anything that contradicts the law.
