That is a rehash of posts we had earlier, but I should have put "rights" in quotes.

I metioned that DoI contained French rhetoric on liberty, and that Jefferson believed bloody revolution was the mechanism to correct governments that abused rights and that Patrick Henry believed that rights were protected through insitutions (church, education, justice, congress, and the Executive Branch.)

No worries, I know your understanding of "rights," so I put quotes around them myself any time you use the word.

I know nothing about the French "rhetoric" on liberty.

What did the French say that you disagree with?

Jefferson was right, and Henry was right.
