     government bad
 60. “The true theory of our Constitution is surely the wisest and best, that
     the States are independent as to everything within themselves, and united
     as to everything respecting foreign affairs. Let the General Government be
     reduced to foreign concerns only, and let our affairs be disentangled from
     those of all other nations, except as to commerce, which the merchants will
     manage the better, the more they are left free to manage for themselves,
     and our General Government may be reduced to a very simple organization,
     and a very inexpensive one; a few plain duties to be performed by a few
     servants.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

     principles upon which our government was founded.” ~ Abraham Lincoln
 63. “The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands
