“The state occupies a special position in society because it has a monopoly on armed force, but that only makes it more vital that it should not be sacrosanct. Not only must the power of the government be limited by law if the citizens are to be free, but it must be limited by other powers. It must be regarded as but one of those social forces upon whose equilibrium a free society depends.”
~ Max Eastman
