TENNESSEE CONSTITUTION - ARTICLE I. DECLARATION OF RIGHTS
§ 2. Doctrine of non-resistance
That government being instituted for the common benefit, the doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

Sometimes you can see portions of the classical American mindset [rather than the slavish Stockholm-syndrome mindset] in legal documents....

[Jacquerie]

I've scanned a lot of state constitutions. Their preambles are occasionally near word for word copies of the federal; all are expressions of our liberties.

That reminds me why citation of foreign law by a federal judge should be immediate grounds for impeachment. If a blackrobe wishes to wander away from our federal constitution, there are 50 (57 according Hussein Himself) American states grounded in our collective traditions and freedoms from which to pick and choose.
