America turned 250 this year. Every state, county and city gets a Freedom Score from 0 to 100, measuring one thing: does the law protect life, liberty and property, or get in the way?

Pick a state, then drill into counties and towns.
Built from the model's own knowledge, so check a citation before you quote it.
Close the tab if you like. The run finishes without you and will be here when you come back.
Interactive timeline of whether the law here protected life, liberty and property or got in the way. Each point is one law, ruling or agency action; select a point to read what it changed.

Analysis generated from public legal sources. Scores are an editorial judgement of where bargaining power sits, not a measurement — verify citations against the primary source. Not legal advice.
One article per decision, written from the official record of a single meeting — the minutes or the transcript, linked at the foot of every piece. Each one says which way the body moved the balance, and quotes the passage that says so.
