The Principles Of Liberty ...


"If the principles of liberty are not firmly fixed and established in the present constitution, in vain may we hope for retrieving them hereafter "
~ attributed to the signature of An Old Whig, Antifederalist No. 49 = most likely Patrick Henry who felt the constitution didn't go far enough to define rights and gave too much power to the Federal government.

Henry is most famous for his line, "Give me liberty, or give me death!"
