veto of the Bank Bill 10 July 1832 Every man is equally entitled to protection by law; but when the laws undertake to add... artificial distinctions, to grant titles, gratuities, and exclusive privileges, to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society - the farmers, mechanics, and labourers - who have neither the time nor the means of securing like favours to themselves, have a right to complain of the injustice of their government.
