Principle 21 - Strong local self-government is the keystone to preserving human freedom.โ€œThe way to have good and safe government is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly the functions he is competent [to perform best]. - Thomas Jefferson

 

Principle 22 - A free people should be governed by law and not by the whims of men.โ€œThe end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings, capable of laws, where there is no law there is no freedom. For liberty is to be free from restraint and violence of others, which cannot be where there is no law.โ€ - John Locke

 

Principle 23 - A free society cannot survive as a republic without a broad program of general education.โ€œThey made an early provision by law that every town consisting of so many families should be always furnished with a grammar school. They made it a crime for such a town to be destitute of a grammar school-master for a few months, and subjected it to a heavy penalty. So that the education of all ranks of people was made the care and expense of the public, in a manner that I believe has been unknown to any other people, ancient or modern. The consequences of these establishments we see and feel every day [written in 1765]. A native of America who cannot read and write is as rare โ€ฆ as a comet or an earthquake.โ€ John Adams
