"As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be
equally said to have a property in his rights. Where an excess
of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No
man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his
possessions."

-- James Madison (National Gazette Essay, 27 March 1792)
