All other laws, it is optional with each man to obey, or not, as he may choose.
And the right is practically established only when and because the government, no longer exists to call it in question.
A man has a natural right to enforce his own rights and redress his own wrongs.
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.
