Quote #4
In a free government the security for civil rights must be the same as that for religious rights. (51.8)
By this logic, freedom can only be ensured by a government that can protect your rights as a citizen. This is not only a gesture towards the Anti-Federalists, who called out the Constitution as failing to protect civil rights, but also a gesture to the various Christian sects that had fled to the United States.
Quote #5
Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society. It ever has been and ever will be pursued until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit. (51.8)
Where does that leave the United States, then? Will freedom end up being consumed as the natural course of history?
