Patrick Henry made this statement in his speech at the Virginia Ratifying Convention. The purpose of the speech was to explain why he opposed ratifying the Constitution without a Bill of Rights.
You are not to inquire how your trade may be
increased, nor how you are to become a great
and powerful people, but how your liberties
can be secured; for liberty ought to be the
direct end of your government,
Patrick Henry,
speech at the Virginia ratifying convention
