A passionate argument for individual liberty and limited government, delivered during a time of great conflict and upheaval in American politics. This address, purportedly written by Lysander Spooner but in fact authored by a group of like-minded individuals, calls for a return to the principles of the Constitution and an end to the encroachment of the federal government on the rights of citizens.
