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.
