The constitutions of most of our States assert, that The constitutions of most of our States assert, that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent, (as in electing their functionaries executive and legislative, and deciding by a jury of themselves, in all judiciary cases in which any fact is involved,) or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press.

I have my “rights” well protected.
Glad to see you have discovered Jefferson. How about some foreign policy quotes:
“I am for free commerce with all nations, political connection
with none, and little or no diplomatic establishment. And I am
not for linking ourselves by new treaties with the quarrels of
Europe, entering that field of slaughter to preserve their
balance, or joining in the confederacy of Kings to war against
the principles of liberty.” –Thomas Jefferson to Elbridge Gerry,
1799.
“We wish not to meddle with the internal affairs of any country,
nor with the general affairs of Europe.” –Thomas Jefferson to
C. W. F. Dumas, 1793.
“Nothing is so important as that America shall separate herself
from the systems of Europe, and establish one of her own. Our
circumstances, our pursuits, our interests, are distinct. The
principles of our policy should be so also. All entanglements
with that quarter of the globe should be avoided if we mean that
peace and justice shall be the polar stars of the American
societies.” –Thomas Jefferson to J. Correa de Serra, 1820.
“The interests of a nation, when well understood, will be found to
coincide with their moral duties. Among these it is an important
one to cultivate habits of peace and friendship with our neighbors.
”
–Thomas Jefferson: Draft,
Presidential Message, 1792.
“No one nation has a right to sit in judgment over another.”
–Thomas Jefferson: Opinion, 1793.
“We are firmly convinced, and we act on that conviction, that
with nations, as with individuals, our interests soundly
calculated, will ever be found inseparable from our moral duties;
and history bears witness to the fact, that a just nation is
taken on its word, when recourse is had to armaments and wars to
bridle others.” –Thomas Jefferson: 2nd Inaugural Address, 1805.
