He Should Know, He Helped Write the Constitution

"Government, in my humble opinion, should be formed to secure and to enlarge the exercise of the natural rights of its members; and every government, which has not this in view, as its principal object, is not a government of the legitimate kind."
--James Wilson, Lectures on Law, 1791

He was also 1 of the 6 original justices on the Supreme Court, a signer of the Declaration of Independence & 1 of the top legal philosophers of his time.
