"If the representatives of the
people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the
exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all
positives forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national
rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against
those of the rulers of an individual state."
--Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No.
28, 1787
