The State has power only for the protection of natural law.
There are realms of conduct within which, to be free, I must be permitted to act as I please; to be denied self-expression there, is to be denied freedom.
Liberty means self-government, and self-government means the right of every man to be his own legislator.
The more equality there is in a State, the more use, in general, we can make of our freedom.
