For sure. That's why the US is such a beaurocratic country: if you don't 
trust your government, you need a big layer of beaurocracy to add 
additional checks.
Interestingly the lack of trust of the government doesn't occur in other 
New World countries like Australia -- it seems fairly specific to the US.

I don't think that's relevant. The US lack of trust of government is 
very much older than that. "The right to bear arms".
