which do you value more: physical freedom or mental freedom

1. Mental, by a slight margin.

But, of course, it's hard to have one without the other.

1) What good is thinking it if you can't say it.
2) How are you going to say it if you're not allowed to think it?

2. Physical freedom allows maximum mental freedom therefore physical is #1.

In a real sense, the two are inseparable. Perhaps that's why our state and federal constitutions protect individual rights.

Pennsylvania's constitution was adopted in 1776 and says "That all men are born equally free and independent, and have certain natural, inherent and inalienable rights, amongst which are, the enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety."
