[Quote No.64266] Need Area: Friends > General
"A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51 percent of the people may take away the rights of the other 49 percent [and therefore the need for a Bill of Rights, amended to the constitution - social contract - to sanctify and protect the rules everyone agrees for all even minorities of one]!" - Thomas Jefferson

[Quote No.64275] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Morality and ethics: law and order; crime and punishment - 'presumed innocent until proven guilty' - 'beyond reasonable doubt' in criminal court or 'on a balance of probabilities' in civil court:] It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished. But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, 'whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection,' and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever." - John Adams

[Quote No.64289] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Small, limited government versus large, interventionist and power-hungry government:] It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism." - George Washington
Founding Father and first US President. Quote from his Farewell Address, September 26, 1796.

[Quote No.64319] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Small versus big government; the need for a Bill of Rights to set a limit to the power of majorities over the power of minorities:] If a majority are capable of preferring their own private interest, or that of their families, counties, and party, to that of the nation collectively, some provision must be made in the constitution, in favor of justice, to compel all to respect the common right, the public good, the universal law, in preference to all private and partial considerations... And that the desires of the majority of the people are often for injustice and inhumanity against the minority, is demonstrated by every page of history... To remedy the dangers attendant upon the arbitrary use of power, checks, however multiplied, will scarcely avail without an explicit admission some limitation of the right of the majority to exercise sovereign authority over the individual citizen... In popular governments [democracies], minorities [individuals] constantly run much greater risk of suffering from arbitrary power than in absolute monarchies..." - John Adams
(1735-1826) Founding Father, 2nd US President. Source: 'On Government', (1778).

[Quote No.64407] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Communism was tried in America and it failed:] The experience that was had in ... the taking away of private property, and the possession of it in community, by a commonwealth ... was found to breed much confusion and discontent; and retard much employment which would have been to the general benefit.... For the young men that were most able and fit for labor and service objected that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children, without any recompense.... The strong man or the resourceful man had no more share of food, clothes, etc., than the weak man who was not able to do a quarter the other could; this was thought injustice. The aged and graver men, who were ranked and equalized in labor, food, clothes, etc., with the meaner and younger ones, thought it some indignity and disrespect to them." - William Bradford
(circa 1590-1657) American colonist, helped found the Plymouth Colony, signatory to the Mayflower Compact, served as Plymouth Colony Governor, 1623.

[Quote No.64442] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Small, limited government versus large, interventionist government:] If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every State, county and parish and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision of the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress. ... Were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited Government established by the people of America." - James Madison
(1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President.

[Quote No.64592] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Force and might do not make right:] Should a robber break into my house, and with a dagger at my throat make me seal deeds to convey my estate to him, would this give him any title? Just such a title, by his sword, has an unjust conqueror, who forces me into submission. The injury and the crime is equal, whether committed by the wearer of a crown, or some petty villain. The title of the offender, and the number of his followers, make no difference in the offence, unless it be to aggravate it. The only difference is, great robbers punish little ones, to keep them in their obedience; but the great ones are rewarded with laurels and triumphs, because they are too big for the weak hands of justice in this world, and have the power in their own possession, which should punish offenders." - John Locke

So I can achieve my goal best by empowering and supporting their equal legal right to make their own informed choices, free from fraud and force including coercion so long as this does not stop another from using their equal right to make their own informed choices, free from fraud and force including coercion. This means I need to support and empower individual freedom and personal responsibility, equality before the law, freedom from force and fraud, and education and critical thinking and decision-making skills.]
