Charles L. Mee Jr. Quotes

No Doubt, Some Of The Champions Of Local Government Hoped To Preserve Such Unsavory Local Customs As Slavery Or The Local Rule Of A Small Group Of Privileged Men, But Many Of The Defenders Of Local Government Argued Honestly That The States Presented The Best Hope Of Securing Liberty. Liberty, In The Eighteenth Century, Meant Not Simply Liberty From Some Intrusive Outside Power. It Meant The Active Exercise Of Control Over One's Life, The Possession Of Power In One's Own Hands. It Meant Government Small Enough And Close Enough To Home To Be Directly Accountable And Responsive. It Meant Self-government, Not Government Handed Over To Some Remote Rulers. Strictly Understood, The Principle Of Local Self-government Meant A Share Of Power More Or Less Equal To Everyone Else's Share Of Power, A Citizenry More Or Less Equal In Wealth And Status, Not One Dominated By One Small Group Or Another; That Is To Say, It Meant Democracy
