9. “Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.”
In an era of imperial Presidents, this quote is refreshing. The checks and balances system created by the Constitution was designed as such specifically to prevent a central government similar to the one headed by the King of England. However, with every new Presidential Administration, it seems that executive power becomes greater, as the legislature and judiciary are given the option to either agree or be left behind. The slow pace at which our Republic functions is not a defect but a blessing. Any policy which wishes to be implemented should receive the highest scrutiny before it is to become law.
