It has been applied to annihilating the justice that it was supposed to maintain; to limiting and destroying rights. The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous.

Your Senate is so imperfectly constructed that your dearest rights may be sacrificed to what may be a small minority; and a very small minority may continue for ever unchangeably this government, altho horridly defective. Where are your checks in this government? Your strongholds will be in the hands of your enemies. It is on a supposition that your American governors shall be honest that all the good qualities of this government are founded; but its defective and imperfect construction puts it in their power to perpetrate the worst of mischiefs should they be bad men; and, sir, would not all the world, from the Eastern to the Western Hemisphere, blame our distracted folly in resting our rights upon the contingency of our rulers being good or bad?...

What will then become of you and your rights? Will not absolute despotism ensue?” [Patrick Henry, anti-federalist, speech against ratifying Constitution. 1788]
