"The constitutions of most of our States assert, that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, … or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press."

--Thomas Jefferson (13 April 1743 - 4 July 1826), POTUS

Letter to Major John Cartwright, 5 June 1824

Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers and former POTUS, believed that all power is inherent in the people and that they have the right to exercise it themselves or through freely chosen representatives. He recognized that it is the duty of every citizen to be armed at all times and entitled to fundamental freedoms such as freedom of religion, property, personhood, free speech and press.

Jefferson's words remind us of our shared responsibility to uphold these essential principles as we work towards creating a just society based on individual liberty and personal autonomy. We must ensure that everyone has access to equal opportunities for success regardless of their background or circumstances.

Let us always remember Thomas Jefferson's wise words about the importance of fundamental rights like freedom & equality as we continue our quest towards building a more just world!! #ThomasJefferson #IndividualLiberty #Equality
