Shh...Everyone knows you can't converse with a dead corpse.
Here, try this one:
The whole of that Bill of Rights is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals. . . . It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of. - Albert Gallatin to Alexander Addison, Oct 7, 1789, MS. in N.Y. Hist. Soc.-A.G. Papers.
See? You can learn a lot from a corpse...
