Freedom = Virtue

"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.  As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."

- Benjamin Franklin


"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

- John Adams

Can Justice be Meted absent any Measures?

"where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of moral and religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice?"

George Washington, Farewell Address
