That is: The individual has primacy over the collective, that rights determine justice, and individual liberty has primacy over equality. Symbols such as the Liberty Bell aesthetically represent this revolution. Part of the inscription on the bell reads from Leviticus 25:10 "Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants Thereof…" The toll of the bell symbolizes the voice of freedom broadcast openly and uninhibited, to all the independent inhabitants of the land. The Bell rang when the Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence and then again on July 8, 1776, to invite the citizens of Philadelphia for the reading of the Declaration of Independence.
