Of the natural rights of all

A free people [claim] their rights
as derived from the laws
of nature, and not as
the gift
of their chief magistrate.

What is true of
every member of
the society, individually,
is true of them all
collectively;

since the rights of the whole
can be no more
than the sum of the rights
of the
individuals.

--Thomas Jefferson (arranged quote)
