Today's "Founder's Quote" was the following, expressing a notion I take great pains to teach my students when we talk about the founding principles of this country.

Natural rights [are] the objects for the protection of which society is formed and municipal laws established.
-- Thomas Jefferson (Letter to James Monroe, 1791)

Seems to me to be a good one for folks to discuss here -- do you agree or disagree?
