The framers of the constitution knew human nature as well as we do. They too had lived in dangerous days; they too knew the suffocating influence of orthodoxy and standardized thought. They weighed the compulsions for restrained speech and thought against the abuses of liberty. They chose liberty. | |

What The Framers Chose

The vested interest group always tries to restrain liberty from a human being.we should conscious about our liberty.Because liberty is our birth right.http://inspiretips.wordpress.com
Thanks for the visit and the comment.
The interesting thing about this quote (and your comment) is that it shows that the “vested interest” group does NOT “always” try to restrain liberty. In fact, they were trying to enable liberty and contain “restraint”. They were choosing liberty for all because they wanted liberty for themselves. Acting in their own self-interest, they realized constraints on liberty for some is constraint on liberty for all. …And they wanted liberty above all!
Thanks for this nice comments
What a great quote!
