===== Statement of First Principles =====

We hold these truths to be self-evident:

That all persons are born free and equal in dignity and in rights;
That they are endowed by nature with reason and conscience, and by that endowment are bound to treat one another in a spirit of fraternity;
That among these rights are life, liberty, bodily autonomy, freedom of thought, expression, association, and the peaceful enjoyment of the fruits of one’s labor;
That just governance exists solely to secure these rights, deriving its legitimacy from the informed and continuing consent of the governed.

No government grants these rights. No government may revoke them.
