Our Relations With The Other

In A Representative Republic, The Education Of Our Children Must Be Of The Utmost Importance!

Of The Liberty Of Conscience In Matters Of Religious Faith, Of Speech And Of The Press; Of The Trial By Jury Of The Vicinage In Civil And Criminal Cases; Of The Benefit Of The Writ Of Habeas Corpus; Of The Right To Keep And Bear Arms....

There Is Every Reason To Believe That Our System Will Soon Attain The Highest Degree Of Perfection Of Which Human Institutions Are Capable.

Peace Is The Best Time For Improvement And Preparation Of Every Kind; It Is In Peace That Our Commerce Flourishes Most, That Taxes Are Most Easily Paid, And That The Revenue Is Most Productive.
