"Happily for America, happily we trust for the whole human race, they pursued a new and more noble course. They accomplished a revolution which has no parallel in the annals of human society. They reared the fabrics of governments which have no model on the face of the globe. They formed the design of a great confederacy, which it is incumbent on their successors to improve and perpetuate." -James Madison, The Federalist No. 14
[I felt that, as it is the anniversary of his birth, a quote from Madison would not go amiss.
Madison is referring to the revolutionaries that earned American independence. I concur most heartily with him in his assessment of their accomplishment, and also with his estimation of the duty we hold as their successors.]
