==Intent== The FSP [[mission statement]], adopted in 2005, states: {{Cquote|The Free State Project is an agreement among 20,000 pro-liberty activists to move to New Hampshire, where they will exert the fullest practical effort toward the creation of a society in which the maximum role of government is the protection of life, liberty, and property. The success of the Project would likely entail reductions in taxation and regulation, reforms at all levels of government to expand individual rights and [[free market]]s, and a restoration of constitutional federalism, demonstrating the benefits of liberty to the rest of the nation and the world.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.fsp.org/ |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130118215151/http://freestateproject.org/about/mission.php |url-status=dead|title=The Free State Project | Liberty Lives in New Hampshire|archivedate=January 18, 2013|website=Free State Project}}</ref>}} "Life, liberty, and property" are rights that were enumerated in the October 1774 [[Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress]]<ref>{{cite web|title=Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress|url=http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/resolves.asp |date= October 14, 1774 |work= [[Avalon Project]] |publisher= [[Yale Law School]] | access-date=November 11, 2010|quote=That the inhabitants of the English colonies in North-America, by the immutable laws of nature, the principles of the English constitution, and the several charters or compacts, have the following RIGHTS: Resolved, N.C.D. 1.
