[Benjamin Franklin addresses the 1787 Constitutional Convention]
In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution, with all its faults,
— if they are such; because I think a general Government necessary for us,
and there is no form of government but what may be a blessing to the people, if
well administered; and I believe, farther, that this is likely to be well
administered for a course of years, and can only end in despotism, as other
forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need
despotic government, being incapable of any other.
