O knihe

Excerpt from An Address to the People of North Carolina, on the Evils of Slavery

Nor will doctrine of the injustice of absolute slavery lose any of its real weight by the considera tion of its having the sanction of the Law, if we consider that all men are but subordinate beings, who are held bound to obey their Creator accor ding to his own Laws, which he hath ordained, and by which he designs his creatures to be gover ned, among which that denominated the Law of nature (which is nevertheless a divine Law) may and ought to be regarded as having been instituted for the particular purpose to which we now apply it, and to which it has been applied by men of. Sound judgment and uncorrupted principles in every age; and to which it was particularly applied by the Fa thers of our glorious liberty, as they have abundant ly shown.* Nor dare any one doubt the validity of the Law of nature, any more than the right of its Al mighty giver to a primary part in the government of mankind. It follows consequently that the principles set forth in the Law of nature for the government of mankind are primary or constitutional principles, and that the Laws enacted by men for their own government should harmonize with and acquiesce in them.
