Individual liberty requires an individual Duty and Responsibility

"Any single man must judge for himself whether circumstances warrant obedience or resistance to the commands of the civil magistrate; we are. all qualified, entitled, and morally obliged to evaluate the conduct of our rulers. This political judgment, moreover, is not simply or primarily a right, but like self-preservation, a duty to God. As such it is a judgment that men cannot part with according to the God of Nature. It is the first and foremost of our inalienable rights without which we can preserve no other."

-- John Locke (1632-1704)
English philosopher and political theorist.

Considered the ideological progenitor of the American Revolution and who, by far, was the most often non-biblical writer quoted by the Founding Fathers of the USA.
