Founding Father and "Father of the Constitution" James Madison understood how important it was to government to have an informed public. Madison's words of wisdom is shown in this quotation: "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 which knowledge gives." Make others do a double-take on knowledge with this philosophical and political James Madison quotation poster with the Baconian sentiment that knowledge is power and that knowledge should govern ignorance!
