Text Quotes
We have the means and we have the technology to end mass surveillance without any legislative action at all, without any policy changes (Legislative Quotes)
The law that will work is merely the summing up in legislative form of the moral judgment that the community has already reached (Legislative Quotes)
When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no liberty; because apprehensions may arise, lest the same monarch or senate should enact tyrannical laws, to execute them in a tyrannical manner (Legislative Quotes)
Experience has instructed us that no skill in the science of government has yet been able to discriminate and define, with sufficient certainty, its three great provinces the legislative, executive, and judiciary; or even the privileges and powers of the different legislative branches (Legislative Quotes)
The apportionment of taxes on the various descriptions of property is an act which seems to require the most exact impartiality; yet there is, perhaps, no legislative act in which greater opportunity and temptation are given to a predominant party to trample on the rules of justice. Every shilling which they overburden the inferior number is a shilling saved to their own pockets (Legislative Quotes)
The members of the legislative department... are numerous. They are distributed and dwell among the people at large. Their connections of blood, of friendship, and of acquaintance embrace a great proportion of the most influential part of the society... they are more immediately the confidential guardians of their rights and liberties (Legislative Quotes)
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 (Legislative Quotes)
The regular distribution of power into distinct departments; the introduction of legislative balances and checks; the institution of courts composed of judges holding their offices during good behavior; the representation of the people in the legislature by deputies of their own election... They are means, and powerful means, by which the excellences of republican government may be retained and its imperfections lessened or avoided (Legislative Quotes)
In republican government the legislative authority necessarily predominates. The remedy for this... is to divide the legislature into different branches; and to render them by different modes of election, and different principles of action, as little connected with each other as the nature of their common functions, and their common dependence on the society, will admit (Legislative Quotes)
If we were left to ourselves, unfettered by legislative enactments, we should gradually withdraw our capital from the cultivation of such lands, and import the produce which is at present raised upon them (Legislative Quotes)
There is an increasingly pervasive sense not only of failure, but of futility. The legislative process has become a cruel shell game and the service system has become a bureaucratic maze, inefficient, incomprehensible, and inaccessible (Legislative Quotes)
All of us want to see the details of any legislative plan if there’s going to be a legislative response, but Congress, I believe, is in the mood to do whatever it takes to win this war against terrorism (Legislative Quotes)
The people in general ought to have regard to the moral character of those whom they invest with authority either in the legislative, executive, or judicial branches (Legislative Quotes)
It is a proposition too plain to be contested, that the constitution controls any legislative act repugnant to it; or, that the legislature may alter the constitution by an ordinary act (Legislative Quotes)
There can be no doubt that the practice of opening legislative sessions with prayer has become part of the fabric of our society (Legislative Quotes)
Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage is hardly as consequential as Johnson’s legislative success on civil rights (Legislative Quotes)
In 1889, I predict, the legislative stage of the Irish question will have arrived; and the union with England, which shall then have cursed Ireland for nine tenths of a century, will be repealed (Legislative Quotes)
Health care reform, the marquee legislative accomplishment of the Obama administration’s first term, was passed before we entered the world of divided government (Legislative Quotes)
I have kept a steady focus on restoring public faith in our state government since taking office July 1. Now it is time to make even bigger and bolder gains through legislative action (Legislative Quotes)
The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule (Legislative Quotes)
First, the American legislative process isn’t well suited to large and complex measures (Legislative Quotes)
It may be said, let him take Money at Interest, and not buy at Time. But then Men must be found, that will lend; the Legislative must provide a Fund to borrow upon (Legislative Quotes)
The Supreme Court and courts in general have been usurping the role of the legislative branch of government (Legislative Quotes)
Once it becomes impossible for members of Congress to make a career of legislative service, the temptation to bend a vote for whatever reason may yield to the better angels of their nature (Legislative Quotes)
Those who express random thoughts to legislative committees are often surprised and appalled to find themselves the instigators of law (Legislative Quotes)
The better proof of reverence for that holy name would be not to profane it by making it a topic of legislative discussion (Legislative Quotes)
It is of the nature of war to increase the executive at the expense of the legislative authority (Legislative Quotes)
I have a duty to protect the executive branch from legislative encroachment (Legislative Quotes)
There is no liberty, if the power of judging be not separated from the legislative and executive powers (Legislative Quotes)
The whole body of the nation is the sovereign legislative, judiciary, and executive power for itself. The inconvenience of meeting to exercise these powers in person, and their inaptitude to exercise them, induce them to appoint special organs to declare their legislative will, to judge and to execute it. It is the will of the nation which makes the law obligatory (Legislative Quotes)
