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 that 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
