Quote by Alexander Hamilton
The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old

The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself and can never be erased. – Alexander Hamilton
