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. Si los hombres fueran ángeles, no sería necesario ningún gobierno. Si los ángeles gobernaran a los hombres, no sería necesario ningún control externo ni interno sobre el gobierno. Al formar un gobierno que va a ser administrado por hombres sobre hombres, la gran dificultad reside aquí: debes primero permitir al gobierno controlar a los gobernados y después obligarlo a controlarse a sí mismo.
