Here, sir, the people govern; here they act by their immediate representatives.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The government, whether state or central, is elected. That means we have a responsibility to elect the right kind of leaders.
What kind of government is this? This is a human being. This is not right, and I'm telling everybody you better call your congressman, because they're going to run your life.
The citizens must be certain that the governor is attending to the duties for which he was elected.
When a government for the people becomes a government in spite of the people, then who are we really serving?
Somewhere along the line, the actions of this government are the actions of me.
Upon you, fellow-citizens, as the representatives of the States and the people, is wisely devolved the legislative power.
If you're in Congress, you vote and give speeches. But governors have to make decisions every day, and presidents have to make decisions every day.
I believe that government is the servant of the people and not their master.
I am the government.
Ruling elders are declared to be the representatives of the people.
