United We Stand, Divided We

I Look On That Paper (the Constitution) As The Most Fatal Plan That Could Possibly Be Conceived To Enslave A Free People.

Power Is The Great Evil With Which We Are Contending. We Have Divided Power Between Three Branches Of Government And Erected Checks And Balances To Prevent Abuse Of Power. However, Where Is The Check On The Power Of The Judiciary? If We Fail To Check The Power Of The Judiciary, I Predict That We Will Eventually Live Under Judicial Tyranny.

O Sir, We Should Have Fine Times, Indeed, If, To Punish Tyrants, It Were Only Sufficient To Assemble The People! Your Arms, Wherewith You Could Defend Yourselves, Are Gone; And You Have No Longer An Aristocratical, No Longer A Democratical Spirit. Did You Ever Read Of Any Revolution In A Nation, Brought About By The Punishment Of Those In Power, Inflicted By Those Who Had No Power At All?

It Is Natural To Man To Indulge In The Illusion Of Hope. We Are Apt To Shut Our Eyes Against A Painful Truth, Till She Transforms Us Into Beasts.
