title: Restoring Our Founders' Government
author: Vigilant Patriot
description: The book was very informative. My favorite part was this quote from Thomas Jefferson's First Inaugural Address: <P> "A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicity". --Bev Moreland, Cottage Grove, MN July 19,2011

  . . . That Whenever Any Form Of Government Becomes Destructive Of These Ends,
  It Is The Right Of The People To Alter Or Abolish It, And to institute new
  Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its
  Powers in such Form, as to them seem most likely to effect their Safety and
  Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that government long established
  should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all
  Experience bath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils
  are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they
  are accustomed. But, when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing
  invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute
  Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government,
  and to provide new Guards for their future Security.
