Excerpt from Popular Sovereignty: Being Some Thoughts on Democratic ReformWe have tried other measures in England, and have found them all more or less mischievous though the history of this Country will show that the idea of the commonwealth, and the rights and privileges of individual Englishmen, have never been lost sight of altogether. We have legislated for a class, or for the sovereign, at least as often as we have legislated for the people, and when the public mind has been agitated, and the masses have vehemently protested against a tyranny or an injustice, we have fre quently turned upon them with sword and bayonet and musket, actually aggravating the evils which it was the alleged intention to cure.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
