That when a proposed law or new measure has passed one
Assembly, there should be another in which the subject question should be
capable of being discussed before it received a binding force —
in this there seems nothing but what is reasonable: some little
possible inconvenience, but security to a much greater value
Such accordingly is the arrangement in the Federal Government of
the American United States, and in most if not all of the several States.

That even after it has thus passed two Assemblies there
should be an individual in whose power it should be to stop
it for him untill such observation as he should have seen
fit to have made in relation to it should have been communicated,
in this too there seems to be more of good than evil

Such also is the arrangement in the Federal Govenment
of the United States+, and in most several if not of the several States

All this is beneficial and innoxious. Why? But in
all this there is not any thing that pleads in favour of a House
of Lords. Why? Because in all this there is no separate
interest opposed to that of the people. The Members of Both Assemblies are
all of them chosen by the people. The one presiding
Member — President he is called in the Federal body — Governor
in the several States, is chosen by the people. Of the division
thus made of the aggregate of the ruling few into the three bodies
the sole object is the giving time for the will of the nominees
of the people to be preceded by an adequately mature judgment.
No one Of these three bodies there is not one that can see any the
least probability of procuring for causing its its own will to take effect in
spite of the will of the people: there is not any one Member that
can see any prospect of advantage to his individual self in
any such attempt.
