Mr. Jefferson, are you seriously suggesting that we publish a paper declaring to all the world that an illegal rebellion is, in reality, a legal one?
Franklin:

Human rights must be defended by the state, the government and the king. (or else we have totalitarianism). Totalitarianism is not government. Totalitarianism is illegal.
