Reading the book of James Madison, the fourth American president (serving in office from 1809 to 1817)...!! "If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself." James Madison: Federalist No. 51, February 8, 1788.
