The Lessons of 1798

James Madison once observed that "it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad." Fear of foreign perils, Madison realized, can easily persuade a freedom-loving people to voluntarily part with liberties they would otherwise consider indispensable.

In Thomas Jefferson’s words, the people are "made for a moment to be willing instruments in forging chains for themselves."
