Locke: designs against the liberties of legislatures
"Yet
the legislative being only a fiduciary power to act for certain ends,
there remains still in the people a supreme power to remove or alter the
legislative, when they find the legislative act contrary to the trust
reposed in them…. And thus the community perpetually retains a supreme
power of saving themselves from the attempts and designs of any body,
even of their legislators, whenever they shall be so foolish or so
wicked as to lay and carry on designs against the liberties and
properties of the subject." ~Locke
