Under a Representative Democracy, no place can conspiracy
ever find for itself: groundless, needless, useless — and to these prefix or
subjoin to these impossible, — such are the properties which it would find
belonging to itself.

1. Impossible: for there is nobody to con inspire against. Under
a Monarchy — under an absolute Monarchy at least — there is a person
to conspire against: there is the Monarch: for if getting you get possession
of his person, you may get possession of his power as above:
under a Representative Democracy there is no such person. For by
getting possession of his person, you can not get possession of an
atom of his power, as is also shown above.

2. Groundless. Under an absolute Monarchy conspiracy has there are
at all times and in all places the most ample grounds. Under a
limited Monarchy, grounds scarcely less ample: but grounds amount
to nothing without hopes. Get possession of the persons of the Monarch,
you get possession of the shadow, but the substance is not attached slips through
your fingers: to it: the substance is in the sub-ruling few in office, in influence
and in opulence: get into your hands the person of the Monarch,
these sub rulers become rulers: this is all you get by it: from the frying
pan you get into the fire. They set up a puppet of their own till
you have let go the one you have got possession of: this you will
immediately do, supposing you weak enough to have engaged in any
such enterprise. This may be supposed, for any thing may be
supposed: but it can not be believed.

Under a Representative Democracy, it can never be
otherwise than groundless: see +
