*Mary Katharine Goddard*, a newspaper publisher, postmaster and bookstore
owner is the only woman whose name appeared on the Declaration of
Independence. She was the person authorized to print the Declaration for

*Quote* - Justice John Marshall reminds us in the United States Supreme
Court ruling in Marbury v. Madison: "The government of the United States
has been emphatically termed a government of laws, and not of men. It will
certainly cease to deserve this high appellation, if the laws furnish no
remedy for the violation of a vested legal right."
