"If men were angels, no 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. A dependence upon the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught humankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions."
-James Madison

"The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God;... but it is not true in fact. The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom judge or determine right." - Alexander Hamilton

Conservatives, Liberals, Libertarians: Do you hear the wisdom of these two men? Do you care? Stop ridiculous argument and learn from our framers what the real issues are.
