2. dangerous to
liberty

The other A second objection is g built upon more
steady ground: it would be the institution it
might be said would be dangerous to favourable
to tyranny, by throwing too much power into the
hands of government, and rendering the political
sanction too independent of the moral. Prin v. Princ. of legisl
Introd. Ch 3. [Sanctions]
I mention
this as deserving to be consider'd attended to and even respected,
not as deserving to be conclusive. It might
render plots and secret conspiracies somewhat more
difficult to form. But it is not by plots and
conspiracies that efficacy is given to the constitutional
claims of a large body of the people. The
liberties of a country real or pretended are maintained not by the intrigues of a few
but by the corroboration of the many: not in
holes and corners but in the face of day: not
by men whose shame it is, but by men whose
glory it is, to be known: by the general concurrence
of persons of all ranks magistrates and
gentlemen as well as yeomen. Though the
persons of Britons were variegated all over
like those of their ancestors of old they would
not be the less able to print opposition pamphlets
or to attend at public meetings: at a less
price than the maintenance of these dangerous
rights
