Government Is, Or Ought To Be Instituted For The Common Benefit, Protection, And Security Of The People, Nation, Or Community...

That In All Capital Or Criminal Prosecutions A Man Bath A Right To Demand The Cause And Nature Of His Accusation, To Be Confronted With The Accusers And Witnesses, To Call For Evidence In His Favor, And To A Speedy Trial By An Impartial Jury Of Twelve Men Of His Vicinage, Without Whose Unanimous Consent He Cannot Be Found Guilty; Nor Can He Be Compelled To Give Evidence Against Himself; That No Man Be Deprived Of His Liberty, Except By The Law Of The Land Or The Judgment Of His Peers.

I Ask, Sir, What Is The Militia? It Is The Whole People Except For A Few Public Officials.
