6566. PEOPLE, Control by.—[continued].
I know no safe depositary
of the ultimate powers of the society
but the people themselves; and if we think
them not enlightened enough to exercise their
control with a wholesome discretion, the
remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform
their discretion by education. This is
the true corrective of abuses of constitutional
power.—
