• Liberalism is that principle of political rights, according to which the public authority, in spite of being all-powerful, limits itself and attempts, even at ist own expense, to leave room in the state over which it rules for those to live who neither think nor feel as it does, that is to say as do the stronger, the majority.

• In proportion as the mass of citizens who possess political rights increases, and the number of elected ruler's increases, the actual power is concentrated and becomes the monopoly of a smaller and smaller group of individuals.

• Islam never differentiates between men and women as regards political rights and puts them on an equal footing. However, even if a woman is qualified for leadership, when it comes to posts of authority such as presidency, Muslim scholars unanimously agree that it is impermissible for a woman to assume such a post because in this case she is in charge of her people's affairs.

• In the case of women, it is of the living and unpublished blood that the violent world has professed to be delicate and ashamed. See the curious history of the political rights of woman under the Revolution. On the scaffold she enjoyed an ungrudged share in the fortunes of party. Political life might be denied her, but that seems a trifle when you consider how generously she was permitted political death.

• the right to marry whoever one wishes is an elementary human right ... Even political rights, like the right to vote, and nearly all other rights enumerated in the Constitution, are secondary to the inalienable human rights to 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence; and to this category the right to home and marriage unquestionably belongs.

• Puedes tergiversar la palabra libertad tanto como quieras, pero al final se reduce al disfrute tranquilo de tu propia propiedad, o se reduce a nada. ¿Por qué quieren los hombres alguna de esas cosas que se llaman derechos y privilegios políticos? ¿Por qué quieren, por ejemplo, votar en las elecciones para miembros del parlamento? Porque entonces tendrán influencia sobre la conducta de esos miembros. ¿Y de qué sirve eso? Así evitarán que los miembros hagan el mal.

• By assigning his political rights to the state the individual also delegates his social responsibilities to it: he asks the state to relieve him of the burden of caring for the poor precisely as he asks for protection against criminals. The difference between pauper and criminal disappears - both stand outside society.

• La sugerencia de negar cualquier medida de sus plenos derechos políticos a un grupo tan grande de nuestra población como la gente de color es algo que, por mucho que pueda ser recibido en otros sectores, no podría ser permitido por alguien que siente la responsabilidad de estar a la altura de las tradiciones y mantener los principios del Partido Republicano. Nuestra Constitución garantiza la igualdad de derechos a todos nuestros ciudadanos, sin discriminación por motivos de raza o color. He jurado apoyar esa Constitución.

• In your ordered verdict of guilty, you have trampled under foot every vital principle of our government. My natural rights, my civil rights, my political rights, my judicial rights are all alike ignored. Robbed of the fundamental privilege of citizenship, I am degraded from the status of a citizen to that of a subject; and not only myself individually, but all of my sex, are, by your honor's verdict, doomed to political subjection under this, so-called, form of government.

• The Baltic republics have invented something totally new. Do you know what? They use the word 'non-citizens' for people who have been living for decades in the territory of Baltic states and have been deprived of a number of political rights. They cannot participate in the election campaigns; they have limited political and social rights. Everybody keeps quiet about it, as if this is the way it should be. Of course, this cannot but cause a certain reaction.

• Thomas Jefferson understood the greater purpose of the liberty that our Founding Fathers sought during the creation of our Nation. Although it was against the British that the colonists fought for political rights, the true source of the rights of man was clearly stated in the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson wrote that all humans are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights . . . . It was self-evident to him that denying these rights was wrong and that he and others must struggle to win what was theirs.

• De ahí que tales democracias hayan sido siempre espectáculos de turbulencia y contienda; se las ha considerado siempre incompatibles con la seguridad personal o los derechos de propiedad; y en general han sido tan cortas en sus vidas como violentas en sus muertes. Los políticos teóricos, que han patrocinado esta especie de gobierno, han supuesto erróneamente que al reducir a la humanidad a una perfecta igualdad en sus derechos políticos, serían, al mismo tiempo, perfectamente igualados y asimilados en sus posesiones, sus opiniones y sus pasiones.

• When we speak of the origin of western democracy it's precisely here, in this territory that the modern definition of democracy first emerged in city/states known now as Greece. This was coming from a society in which 30 thousand citizens had rights and 300 thousand were slaves and citizens without rights that lived in this territory. So that was the concept of western democracy; some citizens had the prerogative of exerting their civil and political rights while the others had none.

• The scope of modern government in what it can and ought to accomplish for its people has been widened far beyond the principles laid down by the old "laissez faire" school of political rights, and the widening has met popular approval.

• La presencia de los negros es el mayor mal que amenaza a Estados Unidos. Aumentan, en los Estados del Golfo, más rápidamente que los blancos. No se les puede mantener para siempre en la esclavitud, ya que las tendencias del mundo moderno van fuertemente en sentido contrario. No pueden ser absorbidos por la población blanca, ya que los blancos no se casarán con ellos, ni siquiera en el Norte, donde han sido libres durante dos generaciones. Una vez liberados, serían más peligrosos que ahora, porque no tardarían en someterse a la privación de derechos políticos. Se produciría una lucha terrible.

• Mientras que el derecho al sufragio se concede a miles de personas notoriamente ignorantes, viciosas y borrachas, ... la negación constitucional a los hombres negros, como tales, de los derechos políticos garantizados libremente a los hombres blancos, es monstruosamente injusta e irracional.
