Free Men Have Arms; Slaves

Free Men Have Arms; Slaves Do Not.

The Liberty Of The Press Is Indeed Essential To The Nature Of A Free State: But This Consists In Laying No Previous Restraints Upon Publications, And Not In Freedom From Censure For Criminal Matter When Published. Every Freeman Has An Undoubted Right To Lay What Sentiments He Pleases Before The Public: To Forbid This, Is To Destroy The Freedom Of The Press: But If He Publishes What Is Improper, Mischievous, Or Illegal, He Must Take The Consequence Of His Own Temerity.

Law Is The Embodiment Of The Moral Sentiment Of The People.

The Law, Which Restrains A Man From Doing Mischief To His Fellow Citizens, Though It Diminishes The Natural, Increases The Civil Liberty Of Mankind.

Upon These Two Foundations, The Law Of Nature And The Law Of Revelation, Depend All Human Laws.
