The Country Shall Be Independent, And We

The Natural Liberty Of Man Is To Be Free From Any Superior Power On Earth, And Not To Be Under The Will Or Legislative Authority Of Man, But Only To Have The Law Of Nature For His Rule.

The Constitution Be Never Construed To Authorize Congress To Infringe The Just Liberty Of The Press, Or The Rights Of Conscience; Or To Prevent The People Of The United States, Who Are Peaceable Citizens, From Keeping Their Own Arms.

The Liberties Of Our Country, The Freedom Of Our Civil Constitution, Are Worth Defending Against All Hazards: And It Is Our Duty To Defend Them Against All Attacks.

In Short, It Is The Greatest Absurdity To Suppose It In The Power Of One, Or Any Number Of Men, At The Entering Into Society, To Renounce Their Essential Natural Rights, Or The Means Of Preserving Those Rights; When The Grand End Of Civil Government, From The Very Nature Of Its Institution, Is For The Support, Protection, And Defence Of Those Very Rights; The Principal Of Which, As Is Before Observed, Are Life, Liberty, And Property.

But There Are Some Persons Who Wouldpersuade The People Never To Make Use Of Their Constitutional Rights.
