A General Dissolution Of Principles And Manners

Our Unalterable Resolution Would Be To Be Free. They Have Attempted To Subdue Us By Force, But God Be Praised! In Vain. Their Arts May Be More Dangerous Then Their Arms. Let Us Then Renounce All Treaty With Them Upon Any Score But That Of Total Separation, And Under God Trust Our Cause To Our Swords.

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.

He Therefore Is The Truest Friend To The Liberty Of His Country Who Tries Most To Promote Its Virtue, And Who, So Far As His Power And Influence Extend, Will Not Suffer A Man To Be Chosen Into Any Office Of Power And Trust Who Is Not A Wise And Virtuous Man.

If Men, Through Fear, Fraud, Or Mistake, Should In Terms Renounce Or Give Up Any Natural Right, The Eternal Law Of Reason And The Grand End Of Society Would Absolutely Vacate Such Renunciation. The Right To Freedom Being The Gift Of Almighty God, It Is Not In The Power Of Man To Alienate This Gift And Voluntarily Become A Slave.

He Who Made All Men Hath Made The Truths Necessary To Human Happiness Obvious To All. Our Forefathers Opened The Bible To All.
