Why was protecting economic freedom important to the founders

History continues to prove the wisdom of the Founders' belief in the unity of both political and economic freedom. ... Then, as now, some have wanted government to impose regulations, tariffs, taxes, or other interventions to protect and advantage certain activities and to minimize economic risk.

Explanation:

Freedom itself was important to our country's Founders. Our right to be free was built into the Constitution, especially in the Bill of Rights, which prevented Congress from passing laws that infringe upon our freedoms. ... Because our natural rights come from God, and not from other people, or the government.
