Aristocrats fear the people, and wish to transfer all power to the higher classes of society.
men law ethics
I consider ethics, as well as religion, as supplements to law in the government of man.
fall rights acting
God has formed us moral agents... that we may promote the happiness of those with whom He has placed us in society, by acting honestly towards all, benevolently to those who fall within our way, respecting sacredly their rights, bodily and mental, and cherishing especially their freedom of conscience, as we value our own.
rights natural authority
Our rulers can have authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them.
rights government resorts
It is to secure our rights that we resort to government at all.
fixing essentials honest
It can never be too often repeated, that the time for fixing every essential right on a legal basis is while our rulers are honest, and ourselves united.
mean giving inalienable-rights
It is a principle that the right to a thing gives a right to the means without which it could not be used, that is to say, that the means follow their end.
rights individual members
What is true of every member of the society, individually, is true of them all collectively; since the rights of the whole can be no more than the sum of the rights of the individuals.
kings pursuit-of-happiness men
The evidence of [the] natural right [of expatriation], like that of our right to life, liberty, the use of our faculties, the pursuit of happiness, is not left to the feeble and sophistical investigations of reason, but is impressed on the sense of every man. We do not claim these under the charters of kings or legislators, but under the King of Kings.
men animal rights
Man [is] a rational animal, endowed by nature with rights and with an innate sense of justice.

The authors of the gospels were unlettered and ignorant men and the teachings of Jesus have come to us mutilated, misstated and unintelligible.
exercise gun strong-arms
The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed and that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of press.
country book safe-return
I have often thought that nothing would do more extensive good at small expense than the establishment of a small circulating library in every county, to consist of a few well-chosen books, to be lent to the people of the country under regulations as would secure their safe return in due time.
country opportunity citizens
I agree with you that it is the duty of every good citizen to use all the opportunities, which occur to him, for preserving documents relating to the history of our country.
