Frank Chodorov Quotes

The Constitution Did Not Give Americans Freedom; They Had Been Free Long Before It Was Written, And When It Was Put Up For Ratification They Eyed It Suspiciously, Lest It Infringe Their Freedom. The Federalists, The Advocates Of Ratification, Went To Great Pains To Assure The People That Under The Constitution They Would Be Just As Free As They Ever Were. Madison, In Particular, Stressed The Point That There Would Be No Change In Their Personal Status In The New Setup, That The Contemplated Government Would Simply Be The Foreign Department Of The Several States. The Constitution Itself Is A Testimonial To The Temper Of The Times, For It Fashioned A Government So Restricted In Its Powers As To Prevent Any Infraction Of Freedom; That Was The Reason For The Famous "checks And Balances." Any Other Kind Of Constitution Could Not Have Got By.
