Founding Issues
Tyranny

1. "There is a natural and necessary progression, from the extreme of anarchy to the extreme of tyranny; and arbitrary power is most easily established, on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness."
   - George Washington, United States Founding Father, "Maxims of Washington", John Frederick Schroeder, D.D., collector and arranger, 1854, p.20
2. "The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If “Thou shalt not covet,” and “Thou shalt not steal", were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society, before it can be civilized or made free."
   - John Adams, United States Founding Father, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, "Atlas of the American Revolution, 1st Vice-President and 2nd President of the United States under the Constitution, "A Defence of the Constitution of Government of the United States of America", (Philadelphia: William Young, 1797), Vol. III, p. 217, from “The Right Constitution of a Commonwealth Examined,” Letter VI.
