Law Liberty Foundation

More From Alexander Hamilton

Give me the steady, uniform, unshaken security of constitutional freedom. give me the right to be tried by a jury of my own neighbors, and to be taxed by my own representatives only. what will become of the law and courts of justice without this? the shadow may remain, but the substance will be gone. i would die to preserve the law upon a solid foundation; but take away liberty, and the foundation is destroyed.

The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

The statue of liberty was never meant to be a symbol of immigration. it was meant to be a symbol of liberty and freedom. lady liberty is stepping forward. she is meant to be carrying the torch of liberty from the united states to the rest of the world. the torch is not to light the way to the united states. it is to light the way to liberty to the rest of the world. lady liberty is carrying the light of liberty to the rest of the world. it is not a beacon for immigrants to get to this country because they're tired, they're poor, they're huddled, hungry, or thirsty.

A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of god. an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. to put it in the terms of saint thomas aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.
Men Squares Law
I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon law and upon courts. these are false hopes, believe me, these are false hopes. liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. while it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no courts to save it.

Take away someone’s fear, or low intelligence, or dishonesty . . . and you take away their compassion. take away someone’s aggression and you take away their motivation, or their ability to assert themselves. take away their selfishness and you take away their sense of self-preservation.

It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. when you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. when you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. the common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. if you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.
