"They had forgotten what our ancestors knew, that a government of men is usually arbitrary and despotic, that a Constitution must be rigorously adhered to or it will lose its force and character, that concentrated power is ever a dangerous thing to the liberty of the people, that power exercised by a majority can be tyrannical just as that exercised by a minority, that the ultimate meaning of human institutions rests in their relationship to the individual, that government cannot act positively to benefit selected individuals and groups without acting unequally upon others, that goods are produced by the willing action of men who have incentives, and so on."

-Clarence Carson
