1 John 3:4. “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.”

Liberty, then, is the freedom to do that the law allows. Do not let governments of men create unconstitutional or illegal laws, else your liberties will be evermore restricted.

William Pitt The Younger, "Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves".
