QUOTATIONS
In early American history the Constitution figured heavily in political debate. People wanted to know, and politicians needed to justify, where the various schemes they debated in Congress were authorized in the Constitution. In the twenty-first century, by contrast, the Constitution is like the elephant at the tea party that everyone pretends not to notice.
- Ron Paul,
"The Revolution - A Manifesto"
In questions of power, then, let no more be said of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.
- Thomas Jefferson
Study the Constitution. Let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislatures, and enforced in courts of justice.
- Abraham Lincoln
I believe there are more instances of abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations...
- James Madison
We the People are the rightful masters of both Congress and the Courts - not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.
- Abraham Lincoln
