political reform

"The all-wise Creator hath likewise made men equal, as well as free; they are all of one flesh, and cast in one mould. There are given to them the same senses, passions, feelings, and affections, to inform and to influence; the same passions to actuate, the same reason to guide, the same moral principle to restrain, and the same free will to determine all alike. There are, therefore, no distinctions to be made among men, as just causes for elevation of some above the rest, prior to mutual agreement.
