"It is sufficiently obvious, that persons and property are the two great subjects on which Governments are to act; and that the rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which Government was instituted. These rights cannot well be separated." | by: | James Madison
(1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President |
