A mere demarcation on parchment of the constitutional limits of the several departments is not a sufficient guard against those encroachments which lead to a tyrannical concentration of all the powers of government in the same hands.#Quoted in F.A. Hayek, The Constitution of Liberty (1960)
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.#Quoted in F.A. Hayek, The Constitution of Liberty (1960)
