In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution, with all its
faults, — if they are such; because I think a general Government
necessary for us, and there is no form of government but what may be a
blessing to the people, if well administered; and I believe, farther,
that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and
can only end in despotism, as other forms have done before it, when
the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic government,
being incapable of any other.
~Benjamin Franklin [i]
