Any government which assumes that the population is going to do something evil has already lost its franchise to govern. The tacit contract between a government and the people governed is that the government will trust the people and the people will trust the government. But once the goverment begins to mistrust the people it is governing, it loses its mandate to rule because it is no longer acting as a spoksman for the people, but is acting as an agent of persecution."
