Reagan on Democracy

The only safe depository of the ultimate powers of society are with the people themselves.

April 26, 1982

Thomas Jefferson was no reactionary, he was a true progressive when he warned, the only safe depository of the ultimate powers of society are with the people themselves. The 10th amendment tells us the Federal Government will do only those things called for in the Constitution, and all others shall remain with the States or with the people.

Remarks at the Annual Meeting of the United States Chamber of Commerce
