Quote from James Madison,


"As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights. Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions."

James Madison (more quotes by James Madison or books by/about James Madison)


(1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President
