Quote
“Government is instituted to protect property of every sort.... This being the end of government, that alone is not a
just
government which impartially secures to every man, whatever is his own.… That is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where the property which a man has in his personal safety and personal liberty is violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest.”
(
James Madison
,
The Complete Madison
, p. 267.)
