| If you believe that a nation is really better off which achieves for a comparative few, those who are capable of attaining it, high culture, ease, opportunity, and that these few from their enlightenment should give what they consider best to those less favored, then you naturally belong to the Republican Party. But if you believe that people must struggle slowly to the light for themselves, then it seems to me that you are a Democrat. |
| ~ Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962), First Lady of the United States, author, speaker, and diplomat. From “Why I am a Democrat,” [Junior League] Bulletin (November 1923). As quoted in Eleanor and Franklin, ch. 27, by Joseph P. Lash (1971). Roosevelt wrote this before her husband, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, had yet been elected President. ~ |

| With respect to the words, "general welfare," I have always regarded them as qualified by the details of power connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution . . . [that] was not contemplated by the creators. |

| Another error has been in ascribing to the intention of the Convention which formed the Constitution an undue ascendancy in expounding it. Apart from the difficulty of verifying that intention, it is clear, that if the meaning of the Constitution is to be sought out of itself, it is not in the proceedings of the body that proposed it, but in those of the State Conventions, which gave it all the validity and authority which it possesses. |
| ~ Letter to N.P. Trist, December, 1831 (James Madison, 1865, IV, page 211) ~ |
