	John Trenchard (writer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Trenchard (1662-1723), English writer and Commonwealthman, belonged to the same Dorset family as the Secretary of State Sir John Trenchard.
		As he inherited considerable wealth, Trenchard was able to devote the greater part of his life to writing on political subjects, his approach being that of a Whig and an opponent of the High Church party.
		From 1720 to 1723, Trenchard, again with Thomas Gordon, wrote a series of 144 essays entitled Cato's Letters, condemning corruption and lack of morality within the British political system and warning against tyranny.

	The Growth of Libertarian Thought in America. by Murray Rothbard
		Hence, it is not unreasonable to assume that the conservative strain in Locke was a camouflage for the radically libertarian core of his position; certainly it was not difficult to concentrate on that core and make it the groundwork of a libertarian creed.

		Even more concretely, Trenchard and Gordon were not afraid to point to the corruption and the increasing power of government and its bureaucracy in the relatively free England of their day.

	THE MILITIA MOVEMENT AND SECOND AMENDMENT REVOLUTION: CONJURING WITH THE PEOPLE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)

		To summarize, the Framers and the militia writers would agree that the federal government is continually at risk of becoming corrupt and using a standing army against the people, that the People have a right to resist tyranny by force of arms, but that the only effective safeguard against oppression is universal, armed militia membership.

		Not surprisingly, militia writers' version of the technique, preferred by many right-wing theorists, is that citizens should passively heed the text of the Constitution and the Framers' original intent.
		In the face of such interpretive disagreement, militia writers reach for their inevitable trump card: those who disagree with them on the meaning of the Constitution must be parties to or dupes of the conspiracy.
