Determine Author’s Point of View Read the following quotation from Walter Bagehot from 1867: “A bureaucracy is sure to think that its duty is to augment [increase] official power, official business, or official members, rather than to leave free the energies of mankind; it overdoes the quantity of government, as well as impairs its quality.”

What is the author’s opinion of bureaucracy? How does it compare with the opinion expressed by James Madison (quoted in Text 1)?
