Let Each Citizen Remember At The Moment

Let Us Contemplate Our Forefathers, And Posterity, And Resolve To Maintain The Rights Bequeathed To Us From The Former, For The Sake Of The Latter.

The Liberties Of Our Country, The Freedoms Of Our Civil Constitution Are Worth Defending At All Hazards; It Is Our Duty To Defend Them Against All Attacks. We Have Received Them As A Fair Inheritance From Our Worthy Ancestors. They Purchased Them For Us With Toil And Danger And Expense Of Treasure And Blood. It Will Bring A Mark Of Everlasting Infamy On The Present Generation – Enlightened As It Is – If We Should Suffer Them To Be Wrested From Us By Violence Without A Struggle, Or To Be Cheated Out Of Them By The Artifices Of Designing Men.

All Men Have A Right To Remain In A State Of Nature As Long As They Please; And In Case Of Intolerable Oppression, Civil Or Religious, To Leave The Society They Belong To, And Enter Into Another.

What A Man Has Honestly Acquired Is Absolutely His Own, Which He May Freely Give, But Cannot Be Taken From Him Without His Consent.

The Utopian Schemes Of Leveling And A Community Of Goods, Are As Visionary And Impractical As Those Which Vest All Property In The Crown. These Ideas Are Arbitrary, Despotic, And, In Our Government Unconstitutional.
