How Strangely Will The Tools

It Is In The Interest Of Tyrants To Reduce The People To Ignorance And Vice. For They Cannot Live In Any Country Where Virtue And Knowledge Prevail.

Our Union Is Now Complete; Our Constitution Composed, Established, And Approved. You Are Now The Guardians Of Your Own Liberties.

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.

It Is Always Dangerous To The Liberties Of The People To Have An Army Stationed Among Them, Over Which They Have No Control ... The Militia Is Composed Of Free Citizens. There Is Therefore No Danger Of Their Making Use Of Their Power To The Destruction Of Their Own Rights, Or Suffering Others To Invade Them.

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.
