Summary

This quote suggests that men can either be controlled by the circumstances they find themselves in or be the ones in control of their circumstances. At times, individuals may feel at the mercy of external factors and unable to shape their own destiny. However, it also emphasizes that there are instances when men have the power to shape the course of their lives and manipulate the circumstances around them. The quote serves as a reminder that our relationship with circumstances can be reciprocal and dynamic, where we can either be passive participants or active agents in shaping our own lives.

It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency,
