(SSUSH 3b) "Having a society for people to live together is always blessing. But government, even when it is at its best, is just a necessary evil; at its worst, government is intolerable. When we suffer the same way with a government as we would without a government, our pain is heightened when we recognize that we provide the government the means to cause our suffering…Men who look upon themselves born to rule, and others to obey, soon grow arrogant. Because they are singled out from those around them and raised up above others, their minds are quickly poisoned by self-importance. Since the rich and luxurious world they live in differs so much from the world of the average person, they are out of touch with what the majority of people actually need. This means that when they are in charge of the government, they are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of anyone to make decisions for people in locations and situations that are so far removed from them."

What, if homespun they say is not quite so gay As brocades(*3), yet be not in a passion, For when once it is known this is much wore in town, One and all will cry out, 'tis the fashion! And as one, all agree that you'll not married be To such as will wear London Fact'ry: But at first sight refuse, tell em such you do choose As encourage our own Manufact'ry. No more Ribbons wear, nor in rich dress appear, Love your country much better than fine things, Begin without passion, twill soon be the fashion To grace your smooth locks with a twine string. Definitions: *1 - Scarce: (especially of food, money, or some other resource) not enough for the demand. *2 - Linen: a type of cloth similar to cotton; a flax-based textile that is predominantly used for homeware applications. *3 - Brocades: a class of richly decorative shuttle-woven fabrics, often made in colored silks and sometimes with gold and silver threads.

(SSUSH 5d) Excerpt from “Federalist No. 51” by James Madison: "In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige(*1) it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary(*2) precautions. This policy of supplying, by opposite and rival interests, the defect of better motives, might be traced through the whole system of human affairs, private as well as public. We see it particularly displayed in all the subordinate(*3) distributions of power, where the constant aim is to divide and arrange the several offices in such a manner as that each may be a check on the other that the private interest of every individual may be a sentinel(*4) over the public rights." Definitions: *1 - oblige: make (someone) legally or morally bound to an action or course of action. *2 - auxiliary: providing supplementary or additional help and support. *3 - subordinate: lower in rank or position. *4 - sentinel: a soldier or guard whose job is to stand and keep watch.
