"The house of representatives ... can make no law which will not
have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as
the great mass of society. This has always been deemed one of the
strongest bonds by which human policy can connect the rulers and the
people together. It creates between them that communion of interest,
and sympathy of sentiments, of which few governments have furnished
examples; but without which every government degenerates into
tyranny." --Federalist No. 57, February 19, 1788
