Quote from Alexander Hamilton 

"If the federal government should overpass the just bounds of its
authority and make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people,
whose creature it is, must appeal to the standard they have formed,
and take such measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution
as the exigency may suggest and prudence justify."
