  "[John] Cartwright's conception of the good Whig society, however, was consistent & remarkably complete. He proceeded from the rationality of man, without which freedom of choice, & thence virtue & vice, would have no meaning...     [B]oth law & religion presupposed freedom of choice, & happiness appears to have been the result of freely chosen good actions.     Moreover he supposed that all men shared equally in the attributes of sense, feeling, & affection, were guided by the same reason, & restrained by the same moral sense.     'It is liberty, not dominion, which is held by divine right.', he declared.     Special talents & virtues might elevate men; & he admitted that large states, being incapable of pure democracy, had found hereditary distinctions useful.     But ultimately all these depended on the will of the people." --- J.R. Pole 1966 _Political Representation in England & the Origins of the American Republic_ (quoting _Take Your Choice!_ 1776)

  "To peddle all this [over-priced, cheap, shoddy, foreign-made] merchandise, the company employed more than 1.3M USA workers. But there was a massive difference between GM and WM. While the former had put most of its workers on a secure road to the middle 'class', the latter was placing many on a path to impoverishment." --- Rick Wartzman 2017 _The End of Loyalty: The Rise and Fall of Good Jobs in the USA_ pg330

  "Nothing is more striking to a European traveler to the United States [of America] than the absence of what we term the government, of the administration.   Written laws exist in the USA, and one sees the daily execution of them; but although everything moves regularly, the mover can nowhere be discovered.   The hand that directs the «social» machine is invisible.   Never the less, as all persons must have recourse to certain grammatical forms, which are the foundation of human language, in order to express their thoughts; so all «communities» [locations wherein individuals frequently interact] are obliged to secure their existence [to defend against initiated force and fraud] by submitting to a certain amount of «authority», without which they fall into anarchy [and absence of co-operative defense against initiated force and fraud]...   The administrative power in the USA presents nothing either centralized or hierarchical in its constitution; this accounts for its passing un-perceived.   The power exists, but its representative is nowhere seen...   In the American republics the central government has never as yet busied itself except with a small number of objects, sufficiently prominent to attract its [their] attention.   The secondary affairs of «society» have never been regulated by its «authority»; and nothing has hitherto betrayed its desire of even interfering in them.   The majority has become more and more absolute, but has not increased the prerogatives of the central government [not encouraged the federal government to violate the constitution and initiate force and fraud throughout the land]; those great prerogatives have been confined to a certain sphere; and although the despotism of the majority may be galling upon one point, it cannot be said to extend to all." --- Alexis de Tocqueville 1835, 1840, 1994 _Democracy in America_ vol1 pp70, 71, 271 (quoted in Mark Reed Levin 2017 _ReDiscovering Americanism: And the Tyranny of Regressivism_ pg78)
