answer:I would assume that the curfew was iniated for the welfare of the people. Meaning, when it’s dark outside, it’s almost impossible to tell the enemy apart from your own family. Also, so the military could move people and military machines around, without having a traffic jam. It was just common sense. You have to have lived it, to understand it. It was a whole different world back then. I think I missed the point in your message. There was a curfew then and a curfew now for teenagers. Well, I could pretend to tell you the reason why there are curfews, but it would take a long time. Bottom line is not curbing a person’s freedom, it’s a matter of crime statistics involving teenagers after a given time. We have had no problems with this law. Most parents totally agree with it and have for years.
