Reagan on Democracy

“We are working on federalism at the national level. This country is as free as it is -- you as individuals owe much of your freedom to this very unique thing about our country -- that it was set up by the Constitution to be a federation of sovereign States, not administrative districts of a Federal Government that retained all the power itself.”

October 7, 1983
