Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.
Freedom is the right to do anything that does not infringe upon the rights of others.
Each citizen must contribute to the common defense, which is the foundation of our security.
Observe good faith and justice towards all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.
