A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
