Regarding Democracies

Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; have in general been as short in their lives as they are violent in their deaths. ~ James Madison, Federalist Papers (# 10) 4th president of US (1751 - 1836)
