. At the close of the Constitutional Convention, September 17, 1787, Benjamin Franklin made this observation:
I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other.
I fear that unless we wake up at once that day is currently upon us.
Thanks, Mary, for a great article.
