Lysander Spooner Quote

Quote from Lysander Spooner,

"If our fathers, in 1776, had acknowledged the principle
that a majority had the right to rule the minority,
we should never have become a nation; for they were in a small minority,
as compared with those who claimed the right to rule over them."
