There is no nobility but that of virtue, knowledge, patriotism and charity; we are all equal; the children of the peasant should have the same education as the children of the rich hacendado; every just claimant should have access to a court which listens, protects and defends him against the strong and the arbitrary; laws should narrow the gap between wealth and poverty and increase the wages of the poor. --José María Morelos y Pavón, 1813. p. 112.
