“Experience has shown that even under the best forms, those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny; and it is believed that the most effectual means of preventing this is to illuminate the minds of the people at large, possessed with the knowledge of other ages and countries so that they may be enabled to know ambition under all its shapes and promptly exert their natural powers to defeat it.” - Thomas Jefferson
