"To the size of the state there is a limit, as there is to plants, animals and implements, for none of these retain their facility when they are too large." -- Aristotle (384-322 BC) Greek philosopher quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Aristotle.Quote.408C "The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men." -- Samuel Adams (1722-1803), was known as the "Father of the American Revolution." quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Samuel.Adams.Quote.CEB3 But the indissoluble link of union between the people of the several States of this confederated nation is, after all, not in the RIGHT, but in the HEART. If the day should ever come (may Heaven avert it!) when the affections of the people of these States shall be alienated from each other, when the fraternal spirit shall give way to cold indifference, or collision of interests shall fester into hatred, the bonds of political association - will not long hold together parties no longer attracted by the magnetism of conciliated interests and kindly sympathies; and far better will it be for the people of the disunited States to part in friendship with each other than to be held together by constraint. Then will be the time for reverting to the precedents which occurred at the formation and adoption of the Constitution, to form again a more perfect Union, by dissolving that which could no longer bind, and to leave the separated parts to be reunited by the law of political gravitation to the center. -- John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) 6th US President Source: in his discourse before the New York Historical Society, in 1839 quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/John.Quincy.Adams.Quote.0F67 The powers not granted in respective Constitutions of Usa , State , belong to the people ..
