The document discusses how liberal democracies sometimes suspend citizens' rights and freedoms during times of crisis to preserve democracy. It provides the example of the October Crisis of 1970 in Quebec, where the implementation of the War Measures Act allowed over 500 arrests to respond to terrorist bombings and murders by the FLQ. While governments restricting freedoms can violate human rights, it is sometimes necessary to do so temporarily to restore peace and protect citizens when a severe crisis threatens public safety and well-being. A government's responsibility is to protect citizens and their rights, even if that means limiting the rights of those who violate others' freedoms through criminal acts like terrorism.
