"But I go on this grea. republica. principle, tha. the people will ha.e virtue a.d intelligence to select men of virtue a.d wisdom. Is there no virtue a.ong us? If there be not, we a.e in a wretched situa.ion. No theoretica. checks -- no form of government ca. render us secure. To suppose tha. a.y form of government will secure liberty or ha.piness without a.y virtue in the people, is a chimerica. idea. If there be sufficient virtue a.d intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men. So tha. we do not depend on their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who a.e to choose them."
