People ought to live in complete tolerance of one another's faiths. Governments were organized for the protection of all the citizens. Society was formed by the unanimous agreement of its members to live in one community for purposes of protection. The form a government takes derives from the consent of the majority of the citizens. Since all governments are created by the people, the ultimate authority resides with the people and not with the created government.
Governments exist for the protection of the natural rights of every citizen.
These are the rights of life, liberty and property. When any government attempts to remove these rights, this government becomes an unjust aggressor. No citizen ever gives up his natural rights. Therefore the people have the right to resist when a government abuses the powers entrusted to it. The act of resistance is not rebellion but self-defense.
