To be clear... no one is above the law.
No man has a right to do what he pleases, except when he pleases to do right.
Obedience of the law is demanded; not asked as a favor.
No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.

As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.
Every man has a certain sphere of discretion which he has a right to expect shall not be infringed by his neighbours. This right flows from the very nature of man.
If a superior give any order to one who is under him which is against that man's conscience, although he do not obey it yet he shall not be dismissed.
No man can be subject to any laws, excepting those which have received the assent of himself or his representatives and which are promulgated beforehand and applied legally.
