"We can, of course, set up constitutional checks and balances, but they will have no meaning if citizens themselves do not ensure that these guarantees are taken seriously. Greedy and power-hungry individuals will always seek ways to violate or twist the rules in their favor."
Book "The Postman" - postapocalyptic sci-fi written by David Brin in 1985
