The Ohio government makes sure that we we have freedoms but if we go to far over the orders of the government with keep are freedoms in order. Example, if I go to the park and walk by myself I am allowed to. But if I go to the park and smoke I am not allowed to. Our freedoms balance out with orders in Ohio. They balance out by having necessary freedoms but when they get out of hand the orders will keep us back from doing it. Example, I jump on my trampoline. I go over to my friends house without asking and jump on his trampoline. First of all it is illegal to trespass sot that is the order. The freedom is jumping on your own tramp without being bothered. This is how Ohio's government balances out freedoms with order. Peel Paragraph
