Those who are to conduct a war cannot in the nature of things, be proper or safe judges, whether a war ought to be commenced, continued, or concluded. Thy are barred from the latter functions by a great principle in free government, analogous to that which separates the sword from the purse, or the power of executing from the power of enacting laws. James Madison

The personal right to acquire property, which is a natural right, gives to property, when acquired, a right to protection, as a social right. James Madison
