Famous quotes containing the words state, chartered and/or federal:
“Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race. It is the system, the apparatus of world-wide brigandage called imperialism, which made the Powers behave the way they did.

—Han Suyin (b. 1917)
“When he speaks,
The air, a chartered libertine, is still.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The proposed Constitution ... is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
