“Sir, I wish to understand the true principles of the Government. I wish them car…” — William Henry Harrison

The only legitimate right to govern is an express grant of power from the governed.

There is nothing more corrupting, nothing more destructive of the noblest and finest feelings of our nature, than the exercise of unlimited power.

All the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.

I believe and I say it is true Democratic feeling, that all the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
