Granite State Great Quote

From the text of the bill HCR 6, introduced into the New Hampshire House this session, by way of Mr. George and another blog, I bring you this quote:

Confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism — free government is founded in jealousy, and not in confidence; it is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions, to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power: that our Constitution has accordingly fixed the limits to which, and no further, our confidence may go.

Hell yes.
