21st Century: Query 146 (James Madison)
“Liberty
may be endangered by the abuse of liberty, but also by the abuse of power.”
If our leaders routinely abuse their power, why or why not should ordinary citizens abuse their liberty?

United States. Madison was an American statesman, lawyer, diplomat, philosopher and Founding Father who
served as president of the United States from
1809 to 1817. He is hailed as the “Father of the Constitution” for his pivotal
role in drafting and promoting the Constitution of the United States
and the United States Bill of Rights. He
