I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.

  • -- Thomas Jefferson 托马斯·杰斐逊

除了人民自己,我不知道还有什么能安全地保存社会的最终权力;如果我们认为他们不够开明,不能以健全的谨慎来行使他们的控制,补救办法不是从他们那里拿走,而是告知他们的谨慎。
