2. Oh but it did, and the document is quaint.
Even quainter is the right of habeas corpus, which goes back to 1215.
It's 2005 feragentmikes' sake! :sarcasm:

Everybody should take to heart this language from the Declaration of
Independence (as featured in the movie "National Treasure"):

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
