Liberty, when it degrades into licentiousness, begets confusion, and frequently ends in tyranny or some woeful confusion.

This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable political rights-among them the right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. They were our rights to life and liberty.
