We Can Have Democracy In

Those Who Won Our Independence Believed That The Final End Of The State Was To Make Men Free To Develop Their Faculties... They Valued Liberty Both As An End And As A Means. They Believed Liberty To Be The Secret Of Happiness And Courage To Be The Secret Of Liberty... That Public Discussion Is A Political Duty; And That This Should Be A Fundamental Principle Of The American Government.

The Only Title In Our Democracy Superior To That Of President Is The Title Of Citizen.

Subtler And More Far-reaching Means Of Invading Privacy Have Become Available To The Government. Discovery And Invention Have Made It Possible For The Government, By Means Far More Effective Than Stretching Upon The Rack, To Obtain Disclosure In Court Of What Is Whispered In The Closet.

The Makers Of Our Constitution . . . Conferred, As Against The Government, The Right To Be Let Alone - The Most Comprehensive Of Rights And The Right Most Valued By Civilized Men.
