Abraham Lincoln, who later served as president of the United States, once said: “The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves ​ — in their separate, and individual capacities. ”
Abraham Lincoln, kes sai hiljem Ameerika Ühendriikide presidendiks, ütles kord: „Valitsuse eesmärk on teha oma alamatele seda, mida nad vajavad, kuid mida nad ei suuda ise kas üldse või eriti hästi teha, kuna see ei ole nende võimuses. ”
