  • History will also give occasion to expatiate on the advantage of civil orders and constitutions; how men and their properties are protected by joining in societies and establishing government; their industry encouraged and rewarded, arts invented, and life made more comfortable; the advantages of liberty, mischiefs of licentiousness, benefits arising from good laws and a due execution of justice. Thus may the first principles of sound politics be fixed in the minds of youth.

    Benjamin Franklin, Walter Isaacson (2003). “A Benjamin Franklin Reader”, p.144, Simon and Schuster

    Benjamin Franklin (1818). “The Works of Dr. Benjamin Franklin: [Autobiography”, p.468
  • an enormous proportion of property vested in a few individuals is dangerous to the rights, and destructive of the common happiness of mankind, and, therefore, every free state hath a right by its laws to discourage the possession of such property.

    Benjamin Franklin, Edmund Sears Morgan (2006). “Not Your Usual Founding Father: Selected Readings from Benjamin Franklin”, p.257, Yale University Press
