“But of all things, they least think of subjecting themselves to the will of one man.”
Letter to Francis W. Gilmer (1816)

Context: There is an error into which most of the speculators on government have fallen, and which the well-known state of society of our Indians ought, before now, to have corrected.

Our Indians are evidently in that state of nature which has passed the association of a single family... The Cherokees, the only tribe I know to be contemplating the establishment of regular laws, magistrates, and government, propose a government of representatives, elected from every town. But of all things, they least think of subjecting themselves to the will of one man.
“Nah. I’m a consultant, of course. Everyone’s favorite nondescript yet well-paid white-collar job.”
