Declaration of Rights proposed during the debate on the 1776 Pennsylvania constitution.
Last item in the July 1776 broadside text:
That an enormous Proportion of Property vested in a few Individuals is dangerous to the Rights, and destructive of the Common Happiness, of Mankind; and therefore every free State hath a Right by its Laws to discourage the Possession of such Property.
DELETED from the declaration adopted in August 1776.
