Its inherent in human nature.
You would need to be not human to believe it.

For instance, during its founding... Jews and Catholics in NH could pay taxes, but not vote or hold office. Yet the slogan of the time was ''No taxation without representation''.

Then we came to ''Local Control'', that went out the window when some local subdivisions didn't follow the will of others.

With ''Live Free or Die''; it is just a matter of hitting the right refrain... maybe men that want to dress as women and use women's restrooms... and out the door goes the ''Live Free'' part.

Or the child that doesn't want to listen to their parents/guardians because they were born ''free and independent''.

When a person is challenged to ''Live Free or Die''; they also very seldom it seems choose the ''Die'' part.
