Founding Fathers

“When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people there is liberty.” T. Jefferson

Mr. Jefferson,

“Our Governmental System is established by a compact, not between the Government of the United States, and the State Governments; but between the States, as sovereign communities, stipulating each with the others, a surrender of certain portions, of their respective authorities, to be exercised by a Common Government and a reservation, for their own exercise, of all their other Authorities.” J. Madison

“In matters of Power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” T. Jefferson

Dear Mr. Jefferson,

“Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion.” G. Washington
