“People crushed by laws, have no hope but to evade power. If the laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to the law; and those who have most to hope and nothing to lose will always be dangerous.” – Edmund Burke

  1. This is true both of human laws and divine law. However, those who are enemies of the divine law are by far the most dangerous, because the rejection of divine law subverts the foundation of human law.

  2. cf, you are right.

    US Declaration of Independence:
    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their ~>Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed …”

    US Constitution Bill of Rights
    “Amendment IX
    The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

    “Divine laws are those that God has, in His grace, seen fit to give us and are those “mysteries”, those rules given by God which we find in scripture; for example, the ten commandments.”
    ~ One definition of Divine Law from the Internet. This quoted one is from Thomas Aquinas.
