"GOVERNMENT has no rights; it is a delegation……" — Percy Bysshe Shelley

"GOVERNMENT has no rights; it is a delegation from several individuals for the purpose of securing their own. It is therefore just, only so far as it exists by their consent, useful only so far as it operates to their well-being."

Percy Bysshe Shelley
