The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property. Therefore, 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.
Whensoever, therefore, the legislative shall transgress this fundamental rule of society, and either by ambition, fear, folly and corruption, endeaver to grasp themselves, or put into the hand of any other, an absolute power over the lives, liberties and estates of the people (personal wealth) by this breach of trust THEY (the government) FORFIET THE POWER THE PEOPLE PUT INTO THEIR HANDS....
