“It is important likewise, that the habits of thinking in a
\nfree country, should inspire caution, in those entrusted
\nwith its administration, to confine themselves within their
\nrespective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise
\nof the powers of one department to encroach upon another.
\nThe spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers
\nof all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever
\nthe form of government, a real despotism.
\nA just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse
\nit, which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to
\nsatisfy us of the truth of this position”. George Washington.
\nFrom his “Farewell Address to the People of the United States”.
