ANSWERING TO A HIGHER AUTHROITY

"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external or internal controls on government would be necessary for framing a government which is to be administered by men over men...." President Madison MEN MUST BE FREE AND INDEPENDENT, AS INDIVIDUALS, BUT YET ANSWERING TO A HIGHER AUTHORITY. IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776, the Declaration of the thirteen united States of America. When, in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them....We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY: GOD ENTITLES. THE FINAL, UNASSAILABLE, ENDOWMENT "...they are endowed by their Creator."
