  • Las repúblicas son creadas por la virtud, el espíritu público y la inteligencia de los ciudadanos. Caen, cuando los sabios son desterrados de los consejos públicos, porque se atreven a ser honestos, y los despilfarradores son recompensados, porque adulan al pueblo, con el fin de traicionarlo.

    Joseph Story (1834). “The Constitutional Class Book: Being a Brief Exposition of the Constitution of the United States: Designed for the Use of the Higher Classes in Common Schools”, p.154
Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them. - Joseph Story
