Under all is the land...

Under all is the land. Upon its wise utilization and widely allocated ownership depend the survival and growth of free institutions and of our civilization. 

So begins the preamble to the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice  of the National Association of Realtors®.  This preamble, of course, is not a new statement of principle, but a restatement of one of the founding principles of the United States of America.

On June 12, 1776, the Virginia Constitutional Convention adopted the Virginia Declaration of Rights , written by George Mason, which begins with the statement:

That all men are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.
