If we were unable to go upon the streets without constant fear of great danger, our enjoyment of life and liberty would 126 HOW THE PEOPLE RULE be greatly lessened. So, too, if we lived in con- stant danger of contagious disease. That we may enjoy life and liberty, the government un- dertakes to protect us in our right to be reason- ably safe and free from danger. It protects us by forbidding the dangerous acts of others. Thus, the government forbids the construction of unsafe buildings, and th...e careless storing and use of dynamite and other explosives. For the same reason, it may compel each householder to keep his premises clean and free from conditions that breed disease. If a person threaten to do us bodily injury, we may have him arrested and brought into court, where he may be compelled to give a pledge or bond that he will keep the peace. So if a person lie about us to the injury of our reputation we may have him arrested and punished. These are but a few of the many ways the government undertakes to protect us in our right to personal security.
