  1. Quoting the founder of the Anti-Federalist/Republican Party in the US, Thomas Jefferson: "“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.” "“Some are whigs, liberals, democrats, call them what you please. Others are tories, serviles, aristocrats, &c. The latter fear the people, and wish to transfer all power to the higher classes of society; the former consider the people as the safest depository of power in the last resort; they cherish them therefore, and wish to leave in them all the powers to the exercise of which they are competent.” “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.” "The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive." "The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object." US History Note: The Old Whigs were the conservative Republicans.
