Quote

“Should this at any time happen, how easy would it be to fabricate pretenses of approaching danger? Indian hostilities, instigated by Spain or Britain, would always be at hand. Provocations to produce the desired appearances might even be given to some foreign power.…” (Alexander Hamilton, speaking on “a combination between the executive and the legislative in some scheme of usurpation.” The Federalist Papers, No. 25.)
