Which is more important to get from the government safety or liberty and why?

Liberty.

Explanation:

Under government safety, we will not have any liberty, sooner or later. The government that promises safety and a "better life" for all, is the worst kind of government, as it leads to a totalitarian and a failed state. Examples of these can be seen in Venuezela, the U.S.S.R, Cuba, and other Communist regime countries. In return for failure, you will also lose personal rights, liberty, rights to privacy, free speech, and your opinions.

Liberty and chaos is a better choice then totalitarian and chaos.
