From: Paul Andrew Mitchell [address in tool bar]
Subject: SLS: The essence of slavery itself.
"But the fundamental rights to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness, considered as individual
possessions, are secured by those maxims of constitutional
law which are the monuments showing the victorious progress
of the race in securing to men the blessings of civilization
under the reign of just and equal laws, so that, in the
famous language of the Massachusetts Bill of Rights, the
government of the commonwealth 'may be a government of laws
and not of men.' For, the very idea that one man may be
compelled to hold his life, or the means of living, or any
material right essential to the enjoyment of life, at the
mere will of another, seems to be intolerable in any country
where freedom prevails, as being the essence of slavery itself."
Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356, 370 (1886)
