Because the Founding Fathers understood the nature of authority (absolute power corrupts absolutely).

Hmm, I wonder what the closest analogue to that statement is that's actually found in the writings of the Founding Fathers. I assume manny of them would agree with it, but the quote itself is from a century later, when a British Confederate-sympathizer was criticizing papal infallibility.

Which is why I put it in parentheses, not quotation marks.
