The Known Propensity Of A Democracy Is

The People As A Body Cannot Deliberate. Nevertheless, They Will Feel An Irresistible Impulse To Act, And Their Resolutions Will Be Dictated To Them By Their Demagogues... And The Violent Men, Who Are The Most Forward To Gratify Those Passions, Will Be Their Favorites. What Is Called The Government Of The People Is In Fact Too Often The Arbitrary Power Of Such Men. Here, Then, We Have The Faithful Portrait Of Democracy.

[the Framers Of The Constitution] Intended Our Government Should Be A Republic, Which Differs More Widely From A Democracy Than A Democracy From A Despotism.

Should Not The Bible Regain The Place It Once Held As A Schoolbook? Its Morals Are Pure, Its Examples Are Captivating And Noble....in No Book Is There So Good English, So Pure And So Elegant, And By Teaching All The Same They Will Speak Alike, And The Bible Will Justly Remain The Standard Of Language As Well As Of Faith.

That Can Never Be Reasoned Down Which Was Not Reasoned Up.

[o]ur Sages In The Great [constitutional] Convention... Intended Our Government Should Be A Republic Which Differs More Widely From A Democracy Than A Democracy From A Despotism. The Rigours Of A Despotism Often... Oppress Only A Few, But It Is The Very Essence And Nature Of A Democracy, For A Faction Claiming To Oppress A Minority, And That Minority The Chief Owners Of The Property And Truest Lovers Of Their Country.
