Today's Founder Quote:

"The foundation on which all [constitutions] are built is the natural
equality of man, the denial of every preeminence but that annexed to legal
office, and particularly the denial of a preeminence by birth."
--Thomas Jefferson
_____________________

"The Courts must declare the sense of the law; and if they should be
disposed to exercise will instead of judgment, the consequences would be
the substitution of their pleasure for that of the legislative body.
--The Federalist No. 78

"The tendency of liberals is to create bodies of men and women-of all
classes-detached from tradition, alienated from religion, and susceptible to
mass suggestion-mob rule. And a mob will be no less a mob if it is well fed,
well clothed, well housed, and well disciplined." -- T. S. Eliot

"We demand entire freedom of action and then expect the government in some
miraculous way to save us from the consequences of our own acts....
Self-government means self-reliance."
-- Calvin Coolidge, 20th-century American president

In what work would this be?

What was his point?

How can we tell without context?
