About This Quote

James Madison said, “the story of liberty is a history of the limitation of a government power, not the increase of it.” The story of liberty is a record of how we as a nation have held back the power of the federal government and limited what it can do. It’s a story about how we’ve fought for our freedom and lost some battles but won more than we’ve lost.
