We Owe To Our Mother-country

That Slow Poison [slavery] Is Daily Contaminating The Minds And Morals Of Our People. Every Gentlemen Here Is Born A Petty Tyrant, Practiced In Acts Of Despotism And Cruelty.

That All Power Of Suspending Laws, Or The Execution Of Laws, By Any Authority, Without Consent Of The Representatives Of The People, Is Injurious To Their Rights, And Ought Not To Be Exercised.

Who Are The Militia? They Consist Now Of The Whole People, Except A Few Public Officers. But I Cannot Say Who Will Be The Militia Of The Future Day. If That Paper On The Table [the Constitution] Gets No Alteration, The Militia Of The Future Day May Not Consist Of All Classes, High And Low, And Rich And Poor.

All Men Are By Nature Born Equally Free And Independent.

No Point Is Of More Importance Than That The Right Of Impeachment Should Be Continued. Shall Any Man Be Above Justice?
