Lysander Spooner: “The right of revolution, which tyrants, in mockery, accord to mankind, is no legal right under a government; it is only…”

Any restriction upon the exercise of this right is a restriction upon his rightful power of providing for, and accomplishing, his own well-being.

Why should they not have such an administration of justice as they desire, and can understand?

And yet these reasons, which are really no reasons at all, are the only ones, so far as I know, that have ever been offered for this absurd and brutal doctrine.

Practically speaking, no government knows any limits to its power, except the endurance of the people.
