Inconsistencies of opinion, arising from changes of circumstances, are often justifiable.

The bible fits man for life and prepares him for death

Now is the time when men work quietly in the fields and women weep softly in the kitchen; the legislature is in session and no man's property is safe.

The States are nations.

It would seem, then, to be the part of political wisdom to found government on property; and to establish such distribution of property, by the laws which regulate its transmission and alienation, as to interest the great majority of society in the protection of the government.

A representative form of government rests nor more on political contributions than on those laws which regulate the descent and transmission of property.

There is not a more dangerous experiment than to place property in the hands of one class, and political power in those of another... If property cannot retain the political power, the political power will draw after it the property.
