On October 11, 1798, President John Adams addressed the officers of the First Brigade of the Third Division of the Militia of Massachusetts in a letter:

'We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.'

John Adams was right about a LOT of things....

He was also right that one should NOT be granted the “privilege” to vote in our Republic - unless one was deemed to be an honorable, responsible, informed and self sufficient MAN.
