John Dickinson Government Quotations

If the General Government should be left dependent on the State Legislatures, it would be happy for us if we had never met in this room.

Government has hardened into a tyrannical monopoly, and the human race in general becomes as absolutely property as beasts in the plow.

Let our government be like that of the solar system. Let the general government be like the sun and the states the planets, repelled yet attracted, and the whole moving regularly and harmoniously in several orbits.
