Founding Fathers Forum: Government of the Majority

Posted by: Nickb (NickB@ThisIsToPreventSpam-65-RemoveThis.far.org) on 26 Jun 2003 at 8:20:58 AM

Can anyone please help me with a citation?

I'm looking for a citation/reference for what I believe to be a Thomas Jefferson quote. The words are something along the line of "We are not a Government of the Majority. Rather, we are a government of a majority of those who participate in the process."

Please email me at NickB@far.org if you know the source, or if perhaps you can point me in the right direction.

Thanks-
love the site! It's very thought provoking. I'm sure I'll be back here.

If the person posting this message left their e-mail address, we inserted some random characters to prevent spammers from harvesting their address. Spammers do this with automated "bots" that constantly search the Web looking for e-mail addresses. Since you're a human being, not a bot, you can easily obtain the real address by removing the text that says "ThisisToPreventSpam-XYZ-RemoveThis." including the random number XYZ and the period at the end. For example, <whitten@ThisIsToPreventSpam-123-RemoveThis.despammed.com> would become <chris-(@)-interesting.com>.
