Si les hommes étaient des anges, aucun gouvernement ne serait nécessaire. Si des anges devaient gouverner les hommes, ni des contrôles internes ni externes sur le gouvernement ne seraient nécessaires. En élaborant un gouvernement des hommes par les hommes, la grande difficulté réside dans ceci : vous devez d'abord permettre au gouvernement de contrôler les gouvernés ; et en second lieu, le forcer à se contrôler lui-même. If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.
