Liberty... is there only when there is no abuse of power.
That anyone who possesses power has a tendency to abuse it is an eternal truth. They tend to go as far as the barriers will allow.
But constant experience shows us that every man invested with power is apt to abuse it, and to carry his authority as far as it will go.
Every man who has power is impelled to abuse it.
Experience constantly proves that every man who has power is impelled to abuse it; he goes on till he is pulled up by some limits. Who would say it! virtue even has need of limits.
