In his work Civil Disobedience, Henry Thoreau presented his arguments for his general distrust of the concept of representative government at large, citing the American government as his example. Using this phrase as a metaphor in order to discuss the foundations of government, one can allude to the fact that citizens prefer to trust in a government of which the foundations are firmly built into a solid moral framework. There is an old saying that states that one should not build a house on sand instead, one should always build a house on solid ground.
