All Power for the exercise of which the holder possessor is not responsible
to those at whose expence it is exercised is greater
than power for the exercise of which it being in other
respects of the same description in other respects the holder is
responsible to those on whom it is exercised. Power to the
possession of which it is not in the power does not depend upon the will of those on whom
it is exercised to put a period is superior greater than
power to the possessor of which it being in other respects of the
same description in other respects the holder init those
it does depend upon their will to put a period. Useless
is the whole amount of the difference between the quantity of the power
in the one case and the quantity of the power in the other case.
Useless, and much worse than useless.

In a man's In the ideas of a man's being at the same time on the one hand subject to the exercise of
power, on and on the other hand at the same time partake a sharer in
the possession of it there is nothing inconsistent of inconsistency or incongruity in
any other shape. Yes, if of the share of power possessed by him the effect
were to destroy the effect of the power exercisable over him: but
that is not the case. In a political state all power is either
operative or constitutive: operative is that, by which the immediate
exercise of which, obsequiousness and obedience are
called for at the hands of individuals: constitutive is that by
the exercise of which, operative power is created and conferred.
