you alone have sovereignty and ownership of your life, body, and mind; no one else has a superior claim to them. this is the fountainhead of all other rights, all of which are themselves property rights. It is from self-ownership that we are able to determine that one has a right to his own production in mixing his labor and time with raw material.
It is because of this right of self-ownership that all governments are illegitimate; they each claim a superior right to you and your person, that you are a citizen, that you are bound by their laws. There is no legitimacy behind these claims. There is, however, force and the threat of force behind them.
