Alexander Hamilton: “Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society.”

A nation without a national government is, in my view, an awful spectacle.

It is essential to the security of liberty that the government in general should have a common interest with the people.

The judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution.

A government ought to contain in itself every power requisite to the full accomplishment of the objects committed to its care.
