James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 17 October 1788

...the invasion of private rights is chiefly to be apprehended, not from acts of government contrary to the sense of its constituents, but from acts in which the Government is the mere instrument of the major number of the Constituents.

James Madison, Letter, 17 October 1788
