The Federalist Patriot — Founders’ Quote Daily

“The regular distribution of power into distinct departments; the introduction of legislative balances and checks; the institution of courts composed of judges holding their offices during good behavior; the representation of the people in the legislature by deputies of their own election…. They are means, and powerful means, by which the excellences of republican government may be retained and its imperfections lessened or avoided.” –Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 9
