JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Each candidate was allowed a 90 second introduction, two questions were drawn from a basket by each candidate, answers were limited to 90 seconds for each candidate and a 90 second closing statement from each candidate.
