1824. April 30
Constitutional Code.

As to the growing self increasing nature of arbitrary power wherever arbitrary,
accumulating of like money placed out at common interest, take
Athens and Pisistratus for example.

With no more than 50 men, under his absolute
command, in the composing quality of a body guard, Pisistratus the Executive
Chief of the Athenian State, after clearing his head ridding himself
of some of this opponent by death, reduced partly by
intimidation partly by corruption, reduced to a state of obsequiousness
to his will the remainder of the armed force to the amount
of many thousands. In the hand of a Xerxes or Darius
a garter would have sufficed to bind Pisistratus in the claim
of corruption – Pisistratus and with him his fifty men, and
with them all the rest.
