Quote

John Dickinson: Mr. Jefferson, I have very little interest in your paper, as there's no doubt in my mind that we've all but heard the last of it, but I am curious about one thing. Why do you refer to King George as a... tyrant? Thomas Jefferson: Because he *is* a tyrant. John Dickinson: I remind you, Mr. Jefferson, that this "tyrant" is still your king. Thomas Jefferson: When a king becomes a tyrant, he thereby breaks the contract binding his subjects to him. John Dickinson: How so? Thomas Jefferson: By taking away their rights. John Dickinson: Rights that came from him in the first place. Thomas Jefferson: All except one. The right to be free comes from nature. John Dickinson: And are we not free, Mr. Jefferson? Thomas Jefferson: Homes entered without warrant, citizens arrested without charge, and in many places, free assembly itself denied. John Dickinson: No one approves of such things, but these are dangerous times.
