JohnLloydScharf: JEFFERSON:"Each generation has a right to choose for itself the form of government it believes most promotive of its happiness.MADISON:"The People were, in fact, the fountain of all power, and by resorting to them, all difficulties were got over. They could alter constitutions as they pleased." THEODORE ROOSEVELT:"I believe in the right of the people to rule. I believe that the majority of the plain people of the United States will, day in and day out, make fewer mistakes in governing themselves than any smaller class or body of men, no matter what their training, will make in trying to govern them. " WILSON:"All power is originally in the People and should be exercised by them in person, if that could be done with convenience, or even with a little difficulty."
