How about Patrick Henry? That'll make your teacher think you
have been studying this whole time...lol your teacher probably doesnt know who Patrick Henry is..lol ( FYI- PH was one of the Colonial Rebels who wanted Freedom from English Tyranny)
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government -- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."
-- Patrick Henry
"is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?...I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" --PH

The Preamble to the United States Constitution
The Preamble states:
“ We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. ”
