Quote of the day...

“I will confess, indeed, that I am not a blind admirer of this plan of government, and that there are some parts of it, if my wish had prevailed, would certainly have been altered. But, when I reflect how widely men differ in their opinions, and that every man, (and the observation applies likewise to every state,) has an equal pretension to assert his own, I am satisfied that anything nearer to perfection could not have been accomplished... Regarding it, then, in every point of view, with a candid and disinterested mind, I am bold to assert, that it is the best form of government which has ever been offered to the world.”[1]
