I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the rights of the people by the gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. -James Madison

The Dorothy D. and Joseph A. Moller Center for Constitutional Government serves as a check on the unrestrained power of government, and provides a vision for balanced, constitutional rule of law. The Center focuses on property rights, campaign finance, regulatory bodies, legislative terms, balance of power among levels of government, processes of judicial appointment, and state sovereignty, among others.
