The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.”– Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson: “The two enemies of the people are criminals and government…”
I have seen this quote by Thomas Jefferson a lot lately “The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.”
This quotation has not been found in any of Thomas Jefferson’s writings. He did, however, employ the phrase “chains of the Constitution” at least once, in the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798: “…in questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution
THIS IS SO VERY VERY TURE!!!!
The government ARE the criminals!
Those chains are now being used on us….
it’s worse when both are one and the same!!!!
How true
Sadly This Government Has Become A Bunch Of Criminals.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
