Here is a website that provides some context for Lee's statement.

http://www.theimaginativeconservative.org/2014/08/acton-lee-conversation-liberty.html

It links to two letters between Lee and Lord Acton. Acton has been credited with saying, and I'm paraphrasing, 'power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely'.
The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government.

The greatest mistake in American history was letting government educate our children.
- Harry Browne, 1996/2000 Libertarian Party Presidential candidate
