THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

Energy in the executive is a leading character in the
definition of good government. It is essential to the
protection of the community against foreign attacks;
it is not less essential to the steady administration of
the laws; to the protection of property against those
irregular and high-handed combinations which
sometimes interrupt the ordinary course of justice; to
the security of liberty against the enterprises and
assaults of ambition, of faction, and of anarchy.
– Alexander Hamilton
