I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding generations, as the great anniversary festival. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That when any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
Every actual state is corrupt.
Good men must not obey laws too well. When the people fear the government, it is tyranny. When there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws. A lot of people say there's too much personal freedom.
