Excerpt from Popular Sovereignty: Being Some Thoughts on Democratic Reform The Main Principle which will be found to underlie the propositions and arguments of these political and social chapters, the leading motive to which they must owe whatever consistency they may lay claim to, is this - that for all the evils to which the State or the community is subject, the fit and sufficient remedies are to be secured by a recourse to the final authority of the people. In other words, the source of power, the object of government, the sanction of law, the remedy of all evils to which the body politic is subject, reside in the community of individuals by whom the State is made up. Does the statute law require amendment? - it must be done in the interest of the bulk of the nation, for their special behoof, if not at their special solicitation. Is an entirely new law proposed in parliament? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
