- "We believe that no government can exist in peace, except such laws are framed and held inviolate as will secure to each individual ... the free exercise of conscience."
Notes
This right is one which generally can't be understood well from its simple name. People, generally, are very confused about concept such as "liberty", agency, and free will. Too narrowly defined, and liberty becomes rather meaningless, but if too broadly defined, it clearly becomes self-contradictory, and threatens other rights.
