His June 5th, 1787 speech is also a classic. Not as well known, but just as important.

Yeah, a real classic.

Henry said, “The rights of conscience, trial by jury, liberty of the press, all your immunities and franchises, all pretensions to human rights and privileges, are rendered insecure, if not lost, by this change, so loudly talked of by some, and inconsiderately by others.”

Too bad Henry went over the top. He lost a lot of respect with his rants.
