    From where comes our Democracy

    Shelleys poem in commemoration best remembered for being the first modern statement of the principle of nonviolent resistance

    "Rise, like lions after slumber
    In unvanquishable number!
    Shake your chains to earth, like dew
    Which in sleep had fallen on you:
    Ye are many—they are few!"
