Government is instituted for the common
good; for the protection, safety, prosperity
and happiness of the people; and not for
profit, honor, or private interest of any man,
family, or class of men; therefore, the people
alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and
indefeasible right to institute government; and
to reform, alter, or totally change the same,
when their protection, safety, posperity and
happiness require it.
John Adams, 1776
