Liberty Quotes - Andrew Jackson, Georges Ripert, James Madison

"Every man is equally entitled to protection by law; but when the laws undertake to add... artificial distinctions, to grant titles, gratuities, and exclusive privileges, to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society -- the farmers, mechanics, and laborers -- who have neither the time nor the means of securing like favors to themselves, have a right to complain of the injustice of their government."
-- Andrew Jackson
(1767-1845) 7th US President

"We continue to claim that nobody is supposed to ignore the law.
But we must give some credit to those who know it."

"It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is today, can guess what it will be tomorrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?"
-- James Madison
(1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President
