"The people can never willfully
betray their own interests: But they may possibly be betrayed by the
representatives of the people; and the danger will be evidently greater where
the whole legislative trust is lodged in the hands of one body of men, than
where the concurrence of separate and dissimilar bodies is required in every
public act."
--James Madison, Federalist No. 63,
1788
