"But today, government is taking those rights from us, pretending that it gives us our rights. Indeed, those rights come from God, and it was recognized throughout our history as such"
- Roy Moore
About this Quote
This quote by Roy Moore speaks to the concept that the rights of individuals are not granted by the federal government, but rather come from God. Moore is recommending that the government is wrongfully removing these rights, which historically, it was understood that these rights originate from a higher power. This idea remains in line with the concept of natural rights, which mentions that certain rights are inherent to all people, and can not be taken away by any federal government or authority. Moore's quote is a pointer that the federal government must not be seen as the source of our rights, but rather as a protector of them.
