Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it
cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on
the government, not on private individuals- that it does not prescribe
the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the
government- that it is not a charter _for_ government power, but a
charter of the citizen's protection _against_ the government.
- Ayn Rand
