Government has within it a tendency to abuse its powers.
“The object of a Constitution is to restrain the Government, as that of laws is to restrain individuals.”
“Irresponsible power is inconsistent with liberty, and must corrupt those who exercise it.”
“The very essence of a free government consists in considering offices as public trusts, bestowed for the good of the country, and not for the benefit of an individual or a party.”
