    Solution

    "undermine" (to weaken or worsen) logically fits with worsening existing problems. "erosion" (gradual destruction or weakening) fits the concerns about the potential loss of rights. "protect" fits the idea of the reforms securing safety. "balanced" refers to an approach that considers both security and freedoms. "achieve" fits in the context of whether the reforms will meet their intended goals.
