"[A] good moral character is the first essential in a man." --George Washington


"There is no maxim, in my opinion, which is more liable to be misapplied, and which, therefore, more needs elucidation, than the current, that the interest of the majority is the political standard of right and wrong." --James Madison, letter to James Monroe, 1786
