There Is A Passion Natural

A Well-regulated Militia, Composed Of The Body Of The People, Trained To Arms, Is The Proper, Natural, And Safe Defense Of A Free State; That Standing Armies, In Time Of Peace, Should Be Avoided As Dangerous To Liberty; And That In All Cases The Military Should Be Under Strict Subordination To, And Governed By, The Civil Power.

There Is A Passion Natural To The Mind Of Man, Especially A Free Man, Which Renders Him Impatient Of Restraint.

Whatever Power May Be Necessary For The National Government A Certain Portion Must Necessarily Be Left In The States. It Is Impossible For One Power To Pervade The Extreme Parts Of The U.s. So As To Carry Equal Justice To Them.

Considering The Natural Lust For Power So Inherent In Man, I Fear The Thirst Of Power Will Prevail To Oppress The People.

We Came Equals Into This World, And Equals Shall We Go Out Of It.
