Sick of the 2016 election for U.S. President already?
Check out the words and ideas of America’s founders — in this case, James Madison. Nobody today has a clue, but these men understood more than most of us now realize.
“Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government.”
“Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm.”
“I go on the principle that a public debt is a public curse…”
“The circulation of confidence is better than the circulation of money.”
“If men were angels, no government would be necessary.”
“The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted.”
“The number, the industry, and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the church from the state.”
— James Madison, chief author of the U.S. Constitution and fourth U.S. President
