"The people can never willfully betray their own interests: But they may possibly be betrayed by the representatives of the people; and the danger will be evidently greater where the whole legislative trust is lodged in the hands of one body of men, than where the concurrence of separate and dissimilar bodies is required in every public act."
- James Madison, 1788.
A very good argument for the separations of powers, and two houses of Congress. Individuals will never betray themselves, but even Congress can... I thought of using two girls for our 'separate and dissimilar bodies' but Jakki Degg was enough for us!
