From Sir William
Blackstone’s Commentaries:
[William
Blackstone's Commentaries on the Common Law of England were the books
studied by the Founders, and all others interested in Law or seeking to
become a Lawyer in the Colonies, at the time our Nation was established.]
For in vain would
rights be declared, in vain directed to be observed, if there were no
method of recovery and asserting those rights, when wrongfully withheld
or invaded. That is what we mean properly when we speak of the
protection of the law. Pg 56 of Blackstone’s
Commentaries titled “on the nature of laws”
the legislature, and
of course the laws of England, being peculiarly adapted to the
preservation of this inestimable blessing
even
in the meanest subject. Very different from the
modern constitutions of other states, on the continent of Europe, and
from the genius of the imperial law; which in general are calculated to
vest an arbitrary and despotic power of controlling the actions of the
subject in the prince, or in a few grandees. And this spirit of
liberty is so deeply implanted in our constitution, and rooted
even in our very soil,

terms; one cannot subsist without the other."
