	John Quincy Adams and his Classical Heritage
		John Quincy Adams, eldest son of John Adams, was born in Braintree, Massachusetts on July 11, 1767, and it seemed that he spent a lifetime trying to live outside of his legendary father’s shadow.
		From childhood, both of John Quincy’s distinguished parents prepared him for "the part which may be allotted you to act on the stage of life," intending for their son to enter politics at the heels of his father.
		John Quincy argued this case before the Supreme Court justices, not before a jury, and therefore his address is aimed at an audience very familiar with the many lengthy legal statutes and cases that he cited.

	Moonfleet Summary
		John's actions from the opening paragraphs in October of 1757 are carefully documented until January, 1759 at which time he and Elzevir begin their hard labour at Ymeguen.
		John can now afford a moment to relax and to enjoy the breathtaking wonder of nature as the Channel stretches out beneath the cliff like "a moving floor." The cliff-face gleams white, "the sea tawny inshore, but purest blue outside" and the sunlight makes the stone sparkle like a mackerel's back (Chapter 10).
		For example, John explains why he left the house the night that the story begins: the parlour was chilly and his aunt would not let him make a fire; second, there was a rank smell of molten tallow in the house; third, he was too anxious to continue his reading.

	Checks and Balances: Liberty, Metaphor and Mechanism
		Here the key figures are John Trenchard, his friend Walter Moyle, and their associate John Toland, the three of whom played the central role in refashioning the republican intellectual tradition to justify opposition to William III's efforts to build a strong state, capable of withstanding attack by the France of Louis XIV.
		Trenchard and Moyle were supposed to have said (and Fletcher of Saltoun certainly did say in 1698) "For not only that government is tyrannical which is tyrannically exercised, but all governments are tyrannical which have not in their constitution sufficient security against the arbitrary power of their prince."
		Trenchard and Moyle were concerned that "the very excellence of our government betrays it to some inconveniences, the wheels and motions of it being so curious and delicate that it is often out of order," and this was because they conceived of the constitution as a complex mechanism incapable of self-regulation.

	NCPA - Opinion Editorial - Lessons On Liberty
		Many of the ideas that informed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were part of the intellectual ferment of the period known as the Enlightenment, and many had their antecedents in English thought of the 17th century.
		But while well-known names like John Locke are often credited with swaying Jefferson and Adams toward the kind of government we have today, a fair amount of the credit goes to John Trenchard and Thomas Gordon, two Englishmen who lived in the early 18th century who wrote collectively under the pen name Cato.
		Trenchard and Gordon are equally modern and perceptive when commenting on the value of free trade, the importance of low taxes and the value of limited government.

	BEYOND THE SECOND AMENDMENT: AN INDIVIDUAL RIGHT TO ARMS VIEWED THROUGH THE NINTH AMENDMENT
		Aristotle wrote that where "the farmers have no arms, the workers have neither land nor arms; this makes them virtually the servants of those who do possess arms."[92] This classical source is particularly relevant because it is invoked directly by thinkers and writers of the revolutionary period.
		He declared that "self-defense, therefore, as it is justly called the primary law of nature, so it is not, neither can it be in fact, taken away by the law of society."[110] He described a right to arms as both statutory and natural.
		John Adams's position on the right to bear arms is also notable, because he opposed the establishment of a right to bear arms collectively to achieve political ends.

		The talk was desultory for a few moments, whilst Wilding and Trenchard washed the dust from their throats; then Monmouth broke the ice by asking them bluntly what they thought of his coming thus, earlier than was at first agreed.
