-- Thomas Jefferson
(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President
"Liberty requires restraints on popularly-elected leaders, as well as from minorities, so that the individual is protected from undue and arbitrary coercion by the state.
These restraints are provided by a plurality of more or less equal and independent groups which check and balance one another’s power."

(1925-2004) Professor
