1787 Critique of the US Constitution:
This being the beginning of American freedom, it is very clear the ending will be slavery, for it cannot be denied that this constitution is, in its first principles, highly and dangerously oligarchical; and it is every where agreed, that a government administered by a few, is, of all governments, the worst. Richard Henry Lee 1787, He made the Motion to Separate the 13 Colonies from England, Signer of the Declaration of Independence,
1790 Critique of the US Constitution:
The present government is not that which will answer the ends of society, by giving stability and protection to its rights, and that it will probably be found expedient to go into the British form. However, since we have undertaken the experiment, I am for giving it a fair course, whatever my expectations may be. Thomas Jefferson 1790
1820 Critique of the US Constitution:
I regret that I am now to die in the belief, that the useless sacrifice of themselves by the generation of 1776, to acquire self-government and happiness to their country, is to be thrown away by the unwise and unworthy passions of their sons, and that my only consolation is to be. that I live not to weep over it. Thomas Jefferson 1820
1834 Critique by Andrew Jackson of Bankers that control the government
"You are a den of vipers! I intend to rout you out, and by the Eternal God, I will rout you out. If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution by morning." - President Andrew Jackson, 1834 speaking to bankers
1933 FDR Critique of Government controlled by Bankers:
The real truth of the matter is,as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson… -Franklin D. Roosevelt (in a letter to Colonel House, dated November 21, 1933)
“The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism -- ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.... Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing.”
― Franklin D. Roosevelt
