"The people were in fact, the fountain of all power, and by resorting to them, all difficulties were got over."
"The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government."
When legislators make mistakes they cover them up --to protect their careers & egos.
"The will of the majority is the natural law of every society and the only sure guardian of the rights of man; though this may err, yet its errors are honest, solitary and short-lived."
