Everyone is the manager and disposer of his own affairs.

Explanation

Every man has the natural right to direct his own affairs, order his own household, and dispose of his own property — no authority may usurp this right without due process of law.

Where this applies

• The government tells you how to manage your own household or personal business.
• A regulation dictates how a person must handle their own private affairs.
