More From James Madison
- "Liberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty, but also by the abuse of power."
- "I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."
- "In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself."
