[...]
The role of the inhabitants of the American hemisphere has for centuries been purely passive. Politically they were nonexistent. We are still in a position lower than slavery, and therefore it is more difficult for us to rise to the enjoyment of freedom … a people is therefore enslaved when the government, by its nature or its vices, infringes on and usurps [takes away] the rights of the citizen or subject....Under absolutism there are no recognized limits to the exercise of governmental powers.

So negative was our existence that I can find nothing comparable in any other civilized society, examine as I may the entire history of time and the politics of all nations. Is it not an outrage and a violation of human rights to expect a land so splendidly endowed, so vast, rich, and populous, to remain merely passive?
What is it emphasizes the fight against oppression and for political freedom?
