Life is better with freedom
You own yourself. No one can claim even partial ownership over you without violating your rights. Self-ownership means not only that you own yourself, but everyone owns themselves. The best way to ensure respect for our self-ownership is to respect the rights of others. Without self-ownership, there is no freedom.
SUMMARY:
All people are created equal and have certain individual rights which are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Individual rights cannot be given away or taken away. We can do as we please within our individual rights, as long as we do not violate the rights of others. No one has the right to harm you, steal from you, threaten you, or violate your individual rights. All interactions between people should be voluntary.
To help secure our individual rights, governments may be created, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter it, abolish it, or withdraw there consent to be governed.
