republican, or a tool of despotism arbitrary power under
the mark of republicanism? But now, the
people deserved were <add>fit for every thing</add> all our confidence. now they are nothing. But now now they

of legislation. They are not fit for to be trusted with
judicature: they and are fit, they and they only
are fit to be trusted with the choice of judges.
