Was it Jefferson who said something to the effect of "Democracy depends upon an enlightened society"? If I have a minute, I'll search for the exact quotation.
[Edit]
The quote was: "Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government."
[Edit #2]
Also this one: "An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic."
