Famous quotes containing the words bill, sketch and/or history:
“Is a Bill of Rights a security for [religious liberty]? If there were but one sect in America, a Bill of Rights would be a small protection for liberty....

For where there is such a variety of sects, there cannot be a majority of any one sect to oppress and persecute the rest.”

That human history should not be shortened.”
