"The instrument by which [government] must act are either the authority of the laws or force. If the first be destroyed, the last must be substituted; and where this becomes the ordinary instrument of government there is an end to liberty!" – Alexander Hamilton (writing as "Tully", Essay No. 3, 1794)
