Famous Quote from James Madison,


“Democracies have ever been
spectacles of turbulence and contention;
have ever been found incompatible
with personal security or the rights of property;
and have in general been as short in their lives
as they have been violent in their death.”


By:

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
