“Whenever the legislators
endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to
reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power,
they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are
thereupon
absolved from any further obedience and are left to the common refuge,
which
God hath provided for all men, against force and violence.”
~ John Locke, 2nd Treatise on Government.
