Make the State the provider, employer and moral authority. To do this, the State has to convince the masses that only it can provide and bestow equality, rights and privileges - a benevolent dictatorship along the lines of Huxley’s, "Brave New World Revisited".

This gave the government the ability to decide who was incapable of regulating their own

In the event that the government turns out to be tyrannical, the people have the power and the right to overthrow it and bring appropriate changes for the good of all. However, this change has to be instituted rationally (Riley, 1990).

This control from a small group of people may have been what the people thought was the right thing to do at the time, but it was somewhat why they had come to the "New World" in the first place was to get rid of a single person ruling everyone.

Thesis Statement: Margaret Sanger changed the world by rallying for the availability and use of contraceptives for all women.

By decision making by representatives of the people, rather than direct decision making by the people themselves. These elite representatives would be expected to use their prudence and wisdom to make decisions based on what was in the best interests of the masses. (pg. 7)

Margaret Sanger and the Birth Control Movement highlighted a variety of important issues. These issues include women’s right to make decisions privately versus the right of a community to regulate moral behavior; the ethnic demographics of the American people; the ability of women to control their own physical destinies by limiting family size; and the idea that small families were the way to keep the American dream alive. The debate over birth control spoke to personal and political issues, which poses the question: Was birth control merely a matter of individual choice, or was it about power, wealth, opportunity and similar issues? Birth control was not merely a technique to expand the realm of personal freedom; it grew out of a radical

They acted with clear consciousness of the object which they had in view, which would bring stability to the new government and protect the fundamental rights and liberties of the people.

Another way would be to build that idea into the form or system of government. Specifically building a form of government where the self-preservation of the ruler is dependent on the self-preservation of the people would serve to readily dissuade the rulers from pursuing self-interest. As of yet, the most effective way this is done is with a republic or a democracy where the government leaders, if not the matters themselves, are chosen by the voice of the

Sanger’s word choice enabled her to place herself in the audience, and reach out to the listeners and show she was one of them. With her statement, Sanger was conveying to the spectators that the life of everyone needed to be bettered, and the intelligence that was growing needed to be used in a way that benefited themselves and others, starting with the enhancement of birth control knowledge in all social classes. Though the speech is about the morality of birth control, it also spruces up the fact that many churches did not allow birth control, and how lack of knowledge to women about this contraception was unfair (Sanger, par. 15). Though this issue was still standing, Sanger allowed her words to flow into the ears of eager listeners, place herself into the slot of an average citizen, and show how persuasion can be used to manipulate others.

Publius states that it is not possible to smother a faction but what our country can do is control its effects. A republican form of government promises the cure of controlling factions. Through elected officials, the peoples voice will be channeled and there will be, “more consonant to the public good then if pronounced by the people themselves (Publius,77).”

Nearly 70 years ago, one woman pioneered one of the most radical and transforming political movements of the century. Through the life that she led and the lessons she taught us, many know her as the “one girl revolution”. Though Margaret Sanger's revolution may be even more controversial now than during her 50-year career of national and international battles, her opinions can teach us many lessons. Due to her strong influence in history, our society has increased health awareness for women, made sexual protection a choice for all people, and also introduced family modification as a choice for mankind.

i. Preserve the power, independence, and sovereignty of the states and ensure that the central government would not encroach on the liberty of the people.

For all of history there has existed the struggle between the strong and the weak. The establishment of government gives the power to a particular group to decide the amount of freedom the majority is allowed, however, though not ideal it provides necessary order. The benefits of security that limitations on freedom provides must be balanced with the individual's pursuit of happiness for citizens to be content. To prevent the governed majority from destabilizing the rulers and seeking power, the government will oppress political and personal freedom of thought. In result, the majority will live under the illusion of contentment and not wish to revolt; those enlightened to the idea that the government should be ruled by the governed, would associate happiness only with ignorance and consequently seek freedom.

“At the beginning of her reign she accepted a compromise that went further in that direction she liked. She spent the rest of her reign enforcing it, against the movement toward further reform, as expressed in parliament.” (Row 245).
