view supremacy to promotion of the conjoint sinister interests of the a ruling one
and a class of sub-ruling few, the design
will naturally give birth to a number of efficient situations

Such accordingly will naturally be the state of things
under a form of government which has for its principle

which is one of his attributes, to grant thereby
an instrument called for example a Charter, certain

succeeding days will his wisdom be occupied in taking

rights liberties and rights so accorded: and among the
means employed for
the production of this effect,
will be giving augmentation
