| − | “The '''right of the individual''' against the State has ever been one of our most cherished political principles. The American Constitution has set down for all men to see the essentially Christian and American principle that there are certain rights held by every man which no government and no majority, however powerful, can deny. Conceived in Grecian thought, strengthened by Christian morality, and stamped indelibly into American political philosophy, the '''right of the individual''' against the State is the keystone of our Constitution. Each man is free.”<br />-- President John F. Kennedy | + | “The '''right of the individual''' against the State has ever been one of our most cherished political principles.
