“[g]uard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.” -Patrick HenrySome of the American rebels were rebelling against the rebellion! That’s a good thing for freedom, because it means that we are allowed to question every decision made on our behalf of our representative government. Patrick Henry here expressed his concern for the potential abuses of power. Thomas Jefferson also expressed his misgivings when he said:
“The Constitution is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.”
