Individuality is the aim of political liberty. By leaving to the citizen as much freedom of action and of being, as comports with order and the rights of others, the institutions render him truly a freeman. He is left to pursue his means of happiness in his own manner.

-- James Fenimore Cooper 詹姆斯·费尼莫尔·库柏

个性是政治自由的目标。通过给予公民与秩序和他人权利相适应的行动自由和生存自由，这些制度使他成为真正的自由人。他可以用自己的方式追求自己的幸福。
