How interesting... I recall being taught that the conservative view is
'that which is not permitted is forbidden' and the liberal was 'that which
is not forbidden is permitted'.

Proverbs? Once again they choose the words of the son (in this case
Solomon) as superior to those of the father (David); take a gander at
Ecclesiastes I:2.

Mr McClendon, this was a sign of the times. Printed works were scarce and
it had been only rather recently that the Bible had been made available in
the Common Tongue; if you take a look at, say, Bartlett's Quotations
you'll find that the King James Version is alotted greater space than any
other single source.

Do you have a cite for this, Mr McClendon? I recall being taught, lo,
those many years ago, that the basis for the separation of powers was in
the works of Montesquieu... a Frenchman.
