James Madison "Steps to Tyranny" Graphic Tee

James Madison was popularly acclaimed the "Father of the Constitution" for his pivotal role in drafting and promoting the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights.  He saw three items necessary for opression and tyranny to take root in a republic, and said, "Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace."  Two down, one to go.  The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
