Answer:
The statement "Eternal Vigilance is the price of liberty" was said by Thomas Jefferson.
Explanation:
- It means that the temptation to deprive someone else of their liberty by effectively making them a partial slave to oneself is always present.
- If we want to secure our freedom, we must pay close attention to ensure that this does not occur.
- If someone steals something else that belongs to us, such as our property, we should theoretically be able to seek the help of the state to recover it.
- The existence of the state theoretically permits us to be more slack in our property protection. However, when it comes to liberty, it is nearly always the state that takes it away.
