Strana 187 - If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union, or to change its republican form, let them stand, undisturbed, as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated, where reason is left free to combat it.
Strana 415 - In the discharge of this trust, I will only say, that I have with good intentions contributed towards the organization and administration of the government, the best exertions of which a very fallible judgment was capable.

Strana 436 - Each individual of the society has a right to be protected by it in the enjoyment of his life, liberty, and property, according to standing laws.
