Every people may establish what form of government they please, and change it as they please, the will of the nation being the only thing essential.
Government should be judged by how well it meets its legitimate objectives. Good government is that which most effectively secures the rights of the people and the fruits of their labor, promotes their happiness, and does their will.
The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government
The only orthodox object of the institution of government is to secure the greatest degree of happiness possible to the general mass of those associated under it.
The first object of human association is the full improvement of their condition.
The happiness and prosperity of our citizens... is the only legitimate object of government and the first duty of governors.
The energies of the nation... shall be reserved for improvement of the condition of man, not wasted in his destruction.
The freedom and happiness of man are the sole objects of all legitimate government.
To preserve the peace of our fellow citizens, promote their prosperity and happiness, reunite opinion, cultivate a spirit of candor, moderation, charity and forbearance toward one another, are objects calling for the efforts and sacrifices of every good man and patriot. Our religion enjoins it; our happiness demands it; and no sacrifice is requisite but of passions hostile to both.
All religions are equally independent here, our laws knowing no distinction of country, of classes among individuals and with nations, our creed is justice and reciprocity.
