“He recommended that governments establish checks…[as] a byproduct of the..incessant operation of his own internal checks and balances…A state constitution was not just an agreed-upon framework of social customs and laws. It was a public replica of one's internal order or constitution…his political commitments were projections onto the world of his own personality.” / VERY interesting hypothesis from Ellis
