Individual Rights

Famous quotes containing the words individual and/or rights:

“Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, everywhere conceded—a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment by inheritance, wealth, family and position.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

“The rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which Government was instituted.”
