"Though written constitutions may be violated in moments……" — Thomas Jefferson

"Though written constitutions may be violated in moments of passion or delusion, yet they furnish a text to which those who are watchful may again rally and recall the people; they fix too for the people the principles of their political creed."

Thomas Jefferson
