Federalist 10, The most common source of factions has been the various and unequal distribution of property

By Steve Straub On July 31, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Federalist Papers, James Madison

“A zeal for different opinions concerning religion, concerning government, and many other points, as well of speculation as of practice; an attachment to different leaders ambitiously contending for pre-eminence and power; or to persons of other descriptions whose fortunes have been interesting to the human passions, have, in turn, divided mankind into parties, inflamed them [...]

John Adams, Foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue

By Steve Straub On July 22, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In John Adams

“Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand.
