But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflection on human nature? - James Madison

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security —

The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests. The protection of these faculties is the first object of Government.

If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
