"Rasa hormat yang tidak kritis terhadap para Founding Fathers kurang ada di mana-mana saat mereka benar-benar hidup. . . . "Pemerintahan Teror yang berkecamuk di Amerika pada akhir pemerintahan Washington, dan seluruh pemerintahan Adams, diselimuti misteri bagi saya. Bahwa ada orang-orang di pemerintahan yang memusuhi sistem perwakilan, pernah menjadi roti panggang mereka , meskipun sekarang ini adalah penggulingan mereka, dan oleh karena itu faktanya ditetapkan terhadap mereka. ""

--- Thomas Paine

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Uncritical reverence for the Founding Fathers was less ubiquitous while they actually lived. . . . "The Reign of Terror that raged in America during the latter end of the Washington Administration, and the whole of that of Adams, is enveloped in mystery to me. That there were men in the Government hostile to the representative system, was once their toast, though it is now their overthrow, and therefore the fact is established against them."
