• It is an unquestionable truth, that the body of the people in every country desire sincerely its prosperity. But it is equally unquestionable that they do not possess the discernment and stability necessary for systematic government. To deny that they are frequently led into the grossest of errors, by misinformation and passion, would be a flattery which their own good sense must despise.

• If it be asked what is to restrain the House of Representatives from making legal discriminations in favor of themselves and a particular class of the society? I answer, the genius of the whole system, the nature of just and constitutional laws, and above all the vigilant and manly spirit which actuates the people of America, a spirit which nourishes freedom, and in return is nourished by it. If this spirit shall ever be so far debased as to tolerate a law not obligatory on the Legislature as well as on the people, the people will be prepared to tolerate anything but liberty.

• A medida que las riquezas aumentan y se acumulan en pocas manos, a medida que el lujo prevalece en la sociedad, la virtud será considerada en mayor grado sólo como un apéndice gracioso de la riqueza, y la tendencia de las cosas será apartarse de la norma republicana. Esta es la verdadera disposición de la naturaleza humana; es lo que ni el honorable miembro ni yo podemos corregir. Es una desgracia común que le espera a nuestra constitución estatal, así como a todas las demás.

• Si los impuestos son demasiado altos, disminuyen el consumo; se elude la recaudación; y el producto para el tesoro no es tan grande como cuando se limitan dentro de límites apropiados y moderados. Esto forma una barrera completa contra cualquier opresión material de los ciudadanos por impuestos de esta clase, y es en sí mismo una limitación natural del poder de imponerlos.

• Energy in the executive is a leading character in the definition of good government. It is essential to the protection of the community against foreign attacks; it is not less essential to the steady administration of the laws; to the protection of property against those irregular and high-handed combinations which sometimes interrupt the ordinary course of justice; to the security of liberty against the enterprises and assaults of ambition, of faction, and of anarchy.

• Las buenas constituciones se forman comparando la libertad del individuo con la fuerza del gobierno: Si el tono de una de ellas es demasiado alto, la otra se debilitará demasiado. El modo más feliz de conciliar estos objetivos es instituir una rama dotada de sensibilidad y otra de conocimiento y firmeza. Mediante la oposición y el control mutuo de estos órganos, el gobierno alcanzará, en sus operaciones regulares, el equilibrio perfecto entre libertad y poder.

• Si comenzamos con... un escrupuloso respeto a la Constitución, el gobierno adquirirá un espíritu y un tono productivo de bendiciones permanentes para la comunidad. Si, por el contrario,... la Constitución es menospreciada o desvirtuada con cualquier pretexto frívolo, el futuro del gobierno será débil, distraído y arbitrario. Los derechos de los súbditos serán el deporte de todas las vicisitudes partidistas. No habrá ninguna regla de conducta establecida, sino que todo fluctuará con la prevalencia alterna de las facciones contendientes.

• Si se permite que un gobierno deje de pagar sus deudas, se derriba toda moralidad pública, se desbaratan todos los principios que preservan los límites de las constituciones libres. Nada puede afectar más a la prosperidad nacional que una atención constante y sistemática para extinguir la deuda actual y evitar, en la medida de lo posible, incurrir en nuevas deudas.

It is that for which we have fought and bled.

• The representatives of the people, in a popular assembly, seem sometimes to fancy that they are the people themselves, and betray strong symptoms of impatience and disgust at the least sign of opposition from any other quarter; as if the exercise of its rights, by either the executive or judiciary, were a breach of their privilege and an outrage to their dignity.
