"Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these:
First, a right to life;
Secondly, to liberty;
Thirdly, to property; together with the right to
support and defend them in the best manner they can.
These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from,
the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature.

~Samuel Adams
The Rights of the Colonists, 1772

"It has been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this.
The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity."

~Alexander Hamilton

Speech in New York, urging ratification of the U.S. Constitution (1788-06-21)
