"3 because there is truly no such thing as a "perfect man" in existence and therefore, a perfect work is that much inexistent. Zarbon 04:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)"

"2 Kalki 14:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC) The statement does not posit the existence of a "perfect man" — it posits a lack of expectation for a perfect work, as a way of justifying support of the US Constitution as a imperfect but necessary work of compromises. I might more strongly support this eventually, but I would prefer add more of the statement below (in bold) for more context:"

I might eventually rank it a 3, or even a 4, but at this point see many far better candidates already suggested for this date. -->"

"2 because a system of checking upon man's excesses is important. The institution of government should therefore rectify and prevent the damage of justice, furthermore constraining those who are intent on harming the government, its ideals, or being governed by their own principles not dictated by the sanctions of law.

"0 Kalki 14:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC) obscure statement by an obscure author. I might rank it a 1 if a page for the author could be justified, but I see no strong reason for one, nor for this quote as a quote of the day."

"3 because without some form of punishment, there would be anarchy. Zarbon 04:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)"

"2 Kalki 14:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC) Not all use the term anarchy simply as a pejorative implying violent oppressive struggles for power. It is used in reference to such thinkers as Leo Tolstoy and others in a ways signifying far more reasonable, moderate, patient struggles for consensus and towards wisdom, and away from far too great a reliance upon the rule of power and laws born of personal or partisan will for power, in favor of those habits and customs which can be established through a far more fundamental and personally transcendent will for Truth and Grace. ~ Kalki 14:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC)"
