​"That all men are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety."

"That all power is vested in, and consequently derived from, the people, that magistrates are their trustees and servants, and at all times amendable to them."
