On the contrary, an individual surrenders a bundle of his/her personal rights to the sovereign in return for a set of assurances and guarantees on liberty, safety and ways of exercising personal choice. A step further, the constitution does provide for curtailing certain rights which are guaranteed by it, if they are opposed to public order or policy and this is a discretion vested in the Government of the day. <br /><br />In addition, free choice can never be a foundation stone for peaceful co-habitation, a cornerstone of modern day desired way of living and hence has been subjected to different constraints. While i do agree that prohibition is not a solution and would breed illegal practices, Governments of the day are not equipped to drive a message of right use to all sections as there is no one size fits all. Therefore societies will keep experimenting and evolving over a period, suffering such implicit idiocy.<br /><br />Regards<br />Subramanyam Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896681476732984625noreply@blogger.com
