Establish Liberty On A Rock Of Brass.

Formerly, When A King Died At Versailles The Reign Of His Successor Was Immediately Announced By The Cry: "the King Is Dead, Long Live The King", In Order To Make It Understood That Despotism Is Immortal! Now An Entire People, Moved By A Sublime Instinct, Cried: Long Live The Republic! To Teach The Universe That Tyranny Died With The Tyrant.

Any Law Which Violates The Inalienable Rights Of Man Is Essentially Unjust And Tyrannical; It Is Not A Law At All.

Any Institution Which Does Not Suppose The People Good, And The Magistrate Corruptible, Is Evil.

Establish Liberty On A Rock Of Brass.

Peoples Do Not Judge In The Same Way As Courts Of Law; They Do Not Hand Down Sentences, They Throw Thunderbolts; They Do Not Condemn Kings, They Drop Them Back Into The Void; And This Justice Is Worth Just As Much As That Of The Courts.
