The right of a nation to determine its own form of government …

The right of a nation to determine its own form of government does not include the right to establish a slave society (that is, to legalize the enslavement of some men by others). There is no such thing as ‘the right to enslave.’ A nation can do it, just as a man can become a criminal – but neither can do it by right. Ayn Rand
(1905-1982)
