” A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us, thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means.”
Thomas Jefferson 1810
