1798
A SENSE of liberty infuses life and activity thro a whole commonwealth — And not only are particular laws a security to the citizen, but a greater security arises from the general principle of liberty — That in every instance will cause the presumption to be made in favor of the accused citizen; that he is innocent, and that the sufferings of the innocent will by that means be prevented — Happy above all people are they of the United States, if they know their own good.
