Original Note:
"When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty" is a quotation often attributed to Thomas Jefferson, but it was likely originally said by John Basil Barnhill in 1914. https://www.monticello.org/research-education/thomas-jefferson-encyclopedia/when-government-fears-people-there-liberty-spurious-quotation/ https://archive.org/details/BarnhillTichenor/page/n33/mode/2up
