U.S. Constitution

“If men were angels,

no government would be necessary.

If angels were to govern men,

neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.

In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men,

the great difficulty lies in this:

you must first enable the government to control the governed;

and in the next place oblige it to control itself.”

 

James Madison

1787-1788

“Federalist No. 51”

 

from Rossiter, Clinton, Ed.  The Federalist Papers.  New York: Penguin Books, 1961.

p. 322.
