He says giving liberty in order to get safety is bad. So liberty is the best thing.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • If you give up your freedom saying the higher authority will take care, then what you have done will make you abuse the authority and the power they have.
  • It says if one gives up the liberty to some authority just to feel safer, then you will not get either one.
  • The power to whom you have given up the liberty will enslave you. You don't deserve that liberty.
