it may naturally be said in legislation? – The cases are very different There
are a thousand many points of difference. I need

authority eloquence is not necessary, invention genius would
be pernicious: in legislation both are necessary:
genius to invent discover what is best and eloquence to

be for the executive power to acquire gain
an ascendant over them by corrupt influence:
while the largeness of the electoral districts would
render the business of election embarassing, and
by rendering the effect reducing to insignificance
the value of a vote diminish the authority of
the Electors over their Deputies, which by encreasing
the value of a seat it would render expose the election contest to tumults
