Answer 1

56. **c. the pursuit of the common good may challenge principles of liberalism** This is the best answer because the sources highlight the tension between individual liberties (like freedom of travel) and the collective good (public health). Source II demonstrates a restriction on freedom of movement for university members, a liberal value, in order to protect the larger community from the spread of the virus. This directly represents the conflict between individual rights and the needs of the collective. 57. **d. unacceptable, because it infringes upon personal freedoms** A civil libertarian prioritizes individual liberties. Restricting travel, even for a public health concern, would likely be seen as an infringement on freedom of movement. While the university's intention is good, a civil libertarian would likely argue that such a restriction is an overreach and infringes upon individual rights.
