"I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive. It places the governors indeed more at
their ease, at the expense of the people." (1787)
"If ever this vast country is brought under a single government, it will be one of most extensive corruption." (1802)
"Our country is too large to have all its affairs directed by a single government. The true theory of our government of
our Constitution (strict construction) is surely the wisest and best-that the states are independent as to everything within
themselves, and united to every respecting foreign nations. Let the general government be reduced to foreign concerns
only, and let our affairs be disentangled from those of all other nations. . . .And our general government may be reduced
to a very simple organization and very inexpensive one: a few plain duties to be performed by a few servants." (1800)
