There has never been a freer system of laws like those we have seen throughout the English-Speaking nations. The formation of common law therefore has been a few hundred years ago a triumph for the rights of men, where the epitome was achieved with the U.S. Constitution, where man-the individual-was given liberty, and the system vowed to defend him/her from the entire collective. There are no rights of greater salience as those ascribed to the individual, to his property, and his freedom from coercion. Yet men seek power, they seek to control and coerce fellow men, which is why goverment tends to become one of men, not of laws. One of tyranny, not one of liberty.
