conform to the dictates of reason
and justice without restraint."

Quote of the Day
A few days back I posted a quote from one of James Madison's Federalist Papers. Here's a line written by Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804) from #15 in that same series:
"Why are governments instituted at all?
Because the passions of men will not
conform to the dictates of reason
and justice without restraint."
"Why are governments instituted at all?Because the passions of men will not
conform to the dictates of reason
and justice without restraint."
