Subject: [smashthestate] Quote: John Locke whenever the Legislators endeavour to take away, and destroy the  Property of the People


 "... whenever the Legislators endeavour to take away, and destroy the
Property of the People, or to reduce them to Slavery under Arbitrary
Power, they put themselves into a state of War with the People, who are
thereupon absolved from any farther Obedience ... [Power then] devolves
to the People, who have a Right to resume their original Liberty, and,
by the Establishment of a new Legislative (such as they shall think fit)
provide for their own Safety and Security, which is the end for which
they are in Society."
-- John Locke
(1632-1704) English philosopher and political theorist.
