Liberty versus Order

In establishing a constitution, there are two conflicting goals that need to be balanced:

• Creating a government that has the authority to maintain order in a civil society.
  
  
• Insuring that individual liberties are protected from encroachment by government authority.

The question is:  How far can the government legitimately go in restricting individual liberties in its pursuit of maintaining order?

In other words, are there legitimate government limits on such liberties as:

• freedom of speech, press and assembly?
• freedom of religion?
