Government is brute force...
Interesting context...
Better context
At his inauguration, Washington stated, "This Constitution is really in its formation a government of the people . . . in which all power is derived from and, at stated periods, reverts to them. . . . It is purely a government of laws, made and executed by the fair substitutes of the people alone. . . [The American form of government is] a new phenomenon in the political and moral world, and an astonishing victory gained by enlightened reason over brute force."
Questionable context: "Being brute force, it can never do un-alloyed good."
Regardless of source, I agree. That is the nature of forces.
Key word: un-alloyed if it exists. Or unalloyed Fox.
