"[Individual freedom and personal responsibility; small, limited-power governments versus large, ever power-seeking governments; authoritarian, interventionist, statist governments - including fascist, socialist and communist doctrines:] Only a large-scale popular movement toward decentralization and self-help can arrest the present tendency toward statism... A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers." - Aldous Huxley

"[Morality and ethics, as the examples below suggest, have not changed much over the centuries. This suggests that the human values necessary for civilised life and therefore an acceptable social contract are innate to humankind. Another example of this universality of human values is the prevalence of the 'Golden Rule' of treating others as you'd like to be treated in nearly all major and many minor religions and codes of ethics! Please consider:]
Have You Read the Ancient Book Of the Dead?
The Original Civilisation:
The Ancient Egyptian civilisation that stretched from 3,000 BCE to 300 BCE was one of the earliest known civilisations (along with the Mesopotamians). It was one of the longest lasting, the first to have one government rule an entire nation and produced awe-inspiring architecture. Even so, it's hard to imagine the world four or five thousand years ago.
To provide context, this was a time before Plato, Caesar, and Jesus. The biblical Abraham and Moses only emerged in the middle period of the Egyptian civilisation. The entire world population at the time was around 20 million – so the same as current-day Beijing. The alphabet had been invented, papyrus was used and there was poetry and song. For transport, horses had just become domesticated, boats started to use sails and chariots were being developed. One thing the Egyptians did do very well was religion, ethics and poetry.
Books Of the Dead:
This is where the Books of the Dead comes in. These were found in the tombs of the rulers of Ancient Egypt. The books made of papyrus could stretch to 40 metres in length. They contain spells, hymns, and prayers to help guide the dead through the underworld (Tuat). No two Books were the same, except that almost all contained 'spell 125' or 'The Weighing of the Heart'.
To understand the importance of this spell, one needs to know that the heart, rather than the brain, was thought to be centre of thought, memory and emotion by the Egyptians. Moreover, they believed that when they died, they would be judged on their behaviour during their lifetimes before they could enter the Afterlife. This judgement would be adjudicated by the God of the Dead, Osiris, and a tribunal of 42 other Gods. The deceased would have to name each divine judge and confess they hadn't committed any offences, 'negative confessions'. The God of Wisdom, Thoth, would oversee the proceedings.
The heart would then be weighed on scales against the 'Truth and Justice' as represented by a feather, the symbol of the Goddess of Justice, Maat. If the heart was balanced, then the deceased would enter the 'Fields of Hetep and Laru'. If the heart was heavy, then the beast 'Ammut', an animal with the head of a crocodile, the front legs and body of a lion and the back legs of a hippopotamus, would devour the heart.
The Spell:
'Spell 125' dealt specifically with the 'negative confessions' and was thought to guarantee safe-passage to the Afterlife, hence its inclusion in all Books of the Dead. The spell itself makes fascinating reading. It addresses 42 cryptically named gods in turn and declares the deceased avoidances of committing various transgressions. Some believe it influenced Judaism and the Abrahamic faiths [for example in the Ten Commandments]. Here's a sample:
'O broad of step who comes from Iunu
I have done no evil
O beaked god who comes from Khemenu
I have not been greedy
O swallower of shades who comes from the cavern
I have not stolen
O flaming faced who comes from Rosetjau
I have not killed anyone
O fiery eyed who comes from Khem
I have not committed corruption
O breaker of bones who comes from Henennesut
I have not told lies
O pale one who comes from Iunu
I have not gossiped
O Wamemty who comes from the tribunal
I have not slept with a man's wife
O bringer of his offering who comes from Sais
I have not been violent
O Temsep who comes from Djedu
I have not conspired against the king'
...
" - Bilal Hafeez

"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. ...[There is also an] inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and ...degeneracy of manners and of morals. ...No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare..." - James Madison

"[Morality and ethics; can you allow and even encourage others to have their own individual freedom from force and fraud so they can discover their own authentic, individual, subjective truth and personal happiness so long as they too respect each other's equal right and need to this same minimum level of humble kindness? Should you then wish to rise to an even higher level of kindness, where you voluntarily risk sacrificing a bit more of your own happiness for theirs that is your free, informed choice, so long as you don't force or defraud-trick others into making that higher level of generosity. So remember...:]
Can you walk on water? Then you have done no better than a straw.
Can you fly through the air? You have done no better than a bluebottle.
Conquer your Heart, and then you may become someone.
[Allow others their peaceful, voluntary, informed freedom!]

"[A Social Contract including A Bill of Rights is needed to protect minorities, including individuals, from the depredations and injustices that a majority could democratically vote for and-or inflict, deliberately or inadvertently, upon a minority.] ...when society is itself the tyrant--society collectively over the separate individuals who compose it--its means of tyrannizing are not restricted to the acts which it may do by the hands of its political functionaries. Society can and does execute its own mandates: and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself. Protection, therefore, against the tyranny of the magistrate is not enough: There needs protection also against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling; against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties, its own ideas and practices as rules of conduct on those who dissent from them; to fetter the development, and, if possible, prevent the formation, of any individuality not in harmony with its ways, and compel all characters to fashion themselves upon the model of its own period. There is a limit to the legitimate interference of collective opinion with individual independence: and to find that limit, and maintain it against encroachment, is as indispensable to a good condition of human affairs, as protection against political despotism." - Jacob Sullum

"[History is valuable as it helps us understand our past, the present and our possible futures:] We [Humans] are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever. [Remember the universe is just under 13.8 billion years old and the Earth is just over 4.5 billion years old! The earliest life forms we know of were microscopic organisms (microbes) that left signals of their presence in rocks about 3.7 billion years old. The first human ancestors appeared between five million and seven million years ago, probably when some apelike creatures in Africa began to walk habitually on two legs. They were flaking crude stone tools by 2.5 million years ago. Then some of them spread from Africa into Asia and Europe about two million years ago. Modern humans, Homo sapiens, originated in Africa within the past 200,000 - 300,000 years and evolved from their most likely recent common ancestor, Homo erectus, which means 'upright man' in Latin. Homo erectus is an extinct species of human that lived between 1.9 million and 135,000 years ago. Our species, Homo sapiens, began moving outside of Africa starting about 70,000-100,000 years ago. We developed a capacity for language about 50,000 years ago, which would have aided our cultural evolution, co-operation and hunting and gathering. Some scientists argue we domesticated the very first dogs some 13,000 years ago, which helped in our hunting and gathering. Agricultural communities developed approximately 10,000 years ago when humans began to domesticate plants and animals. By establishing domesticity, families and larger groups were able to build communities and transition from a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle dependent on foraging and hunting for survival. The Sumerian archaic (pre-cuneiform) writing and Egyptian hieroglyphs are generally considered the earliest true writing systems, both emerging out of their ancestral proto-literate symbol systems from 3400–3100 BCE, with earliest coherent texts from about 2600 BCE. Lasting roughly 2.5 million years, the Stone Age ended around 5,000 years ago when humans in the Near East began working with metal and making tools and weapons from bronze. From about 1000 BCE, the ability to heat and forge another metal, iron, brought the Bronze Age to an end, and led to the beginning of the Iron Age. Many scholars place the end of the Iron Age in at around 550 BC, when the ancient Greek historian and geographer from the Greek city of Halicarnassus, part of the Persian Empire, Herodotus, 'The Father of History,' began writing 'The Histories,' – a detailed account of the Greco-Persian Wars - though the end date varies by region. In Scandinavia, it ended closer to 800 AD with the rise of the Vikings.]" - Carl Sagan

Let me add that a bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular; and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference." - Thomas Jefferson
(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President.
