foster government growing intention objective provide rather ride stand stifle work
It is not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work -- work with us, not over us; stand by our side, not ride on our back.

abandon asked base beholden believe capacity capital confess elite fathers founding freedoms government history intended issue james lives madison mankind ourselves plan relation revolution source time unique whether
It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, "We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government." This idea that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power, is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. (October 27, 1964)
