<u>This portion of the text emphasizes the natural rights of people:</u>
- <em>Man being born ... with a title to perfect freedom and an uncontrolled enjoyment of all the rights and privileges of the law of Nature ... hath by nature a power not only to preserve his property— that is, his life, liberty, and estate, against the injuries and attempts of other men</em>
Explanation:
Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke believed that using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate in order to create the most beneficial conditions for society. For Locke, this included a conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved. Locke's ideal was one that promoted individual freedom and equal rights and opportunity for all. Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged.
Here's another excerpt section from Locke's <em> Second Treatise on Civil Government</em> (1690), in which he expresses the ideas of natural rights:
- <em>The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions… (and) when his own preservation comes not in competition, ought he, as much as he can, to preserve the rest of mankind, and may not, unless it be to do justice on an offender, take away, or impair the life, or what tends to the preservation of the life, the liberty, health, limb, or goods of another.</em>

Answer:
Democracy was not in unity, but the national independence of each state as a separate nation unto itself, which vested in the supreme power of the voters in each state having final Authority over it, while government was simply the hired help.
Lincoln had already threatened in 1856, that he would oppose secession with military force; and that's why the GOP lobbyists chose him to be president in 1860.
And why the South seceded in response.
The only way to save democracy, was to assert the historical fact that each state was a democratic Nation, and that any attempt by the federal government to invade any state, would be an act of Rogue imperialism.
However ever since Jackson's original nullification Proclamation, nobody officially countered this claim, and therefore it was able to corrupt official history for 28 years until Lincoln came to power.
Hope this helped! :)
