Lysander Spooner: “If they forbid any man to do anything, which justice would permit him to do, they are criminal invasions of his natural…”

Proud from victory, and with their swords in their hands, would they surrender their liberties to a private man?

The will, or the pretended will, of the majority, is the last lurking place of tyranny at the present day.

It is also sheer impudence, on their part, to assume that their commands are at all necessary to teach other men what is, and what is not, justice.

And the right is practically established only when and because the government, no longer exists to call it in question.
