Any Single Man Must Judge For Himself Whether Circumstances Warrant Obedience Or Resistance To The Commands Of The Civil Magistrate; We Are All Qualified, Entitled, And Morally Obliged To Evaluate The Conduct Of Our Rulers.

It Is The First And Foremost Of Our Inalienable Rights Without Which We Can Preserve No Other.
