Jealousy vs. Necessity
July 22nd, 2013 . by CaryIt’s tough to depend on someone else. It’s even tougher as an independent colonist to turn over your hard-won freedom to a group of people who claim to have your best interest at heart. So, jealous of your freedom, you let them have the power to rule – in a limited manner.
“Free government is founded in jealousy, and not in confidence; it is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions, to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power.”
–Thomas Jefferson, The Kentucky Resolutions, 1799
