Tao Te Ching

“Government is—or should be—instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security of the people… When it is found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, the majority has an unalienable right to reform, alter or abolish it.”

— George Mason 1725 – 1792 CE
First American abolitionist, founding father, and Constitutional savior
