Founders’ Quote Daily

“But ambitious encroachments of the federal government, on the authority of the State governments, would not excite the opposition of a single State, or of a few States only. They would be signals of general alarm… But what degree of madness could ever drive the federal government to such an extremity.”

– James Madison (Federalist No. 46, 29 January 1788)

    Power? Desire to rule over others? Thinking they’re only ones who know how to spend my money…on OTHER people!? If they could only see this now. I believe it is because people started to refer to the as a ‘democracy’ instead of a republic. *sigh*
