WINTER TALES

I know the Song,
I know the Words,
I know the Authors,
I know, they drinks Wein in secrets,
And preach the public to drinks Water

[Heinrich Heine - Wintermärchen]

We have learned from history we have reason to conclude that
all peaceful beginnings of government have been laid in the consent of the people. Governments were formed, to protect the right to life, the right to freedom, and the right to property. There rights were absolute, belonging to all the people. John Locke also believed that government power should be divided equally into three branches of government so that politicians will not face the "temptation... to grasp at absolute power."
If any government abused these rights instead of protecting them, then the people had the right to rebel and form the government.
