Zephyr Teachout Quotes

The Two National Powers That Dominated The Colonies, France And Britain, Represented Two Different Models Of Corruption. Britain Was Seen As A Failed Ideal. It Was Corrupted Republic, A Place Where The Premise Of Government Was Basically Sound But Civic Virtue - That Of The Public And Public Officials - Was Degenerating. On The Other Hand, France Was Seen As More Essentially Corrupt, A Nation In Which There Was No True Polity, But Instead Exchanges Of Luxury For Power; A Nation Populated By Weak Subjects And Flattering Courtiers. Britain Was The Greater Tragedy, Because It Held The Promise Of Integrity, Whereas France Was Simply Something Of A Civic Cesspool.
