"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 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 to the Federal Convention, Sept. 17, 1787

Proving once again that the Founders were WAY smarter than we are.
