Are Americans the freest people in the world?

For almost 200 years, authors have travelled to the United States to write memoirs and observations on the very idea of America. What makes this country unique? Why is it so different from any other?

As the US election approaches, we take a virtual cross-country trip and ask our American friends fundamental questions around Americanness. The second episode is on freedom. Are Americans the freest people in the world?
