Radicalism not dangerous

2
III Experience
1. United States
2 § 1. Introd.

2
Proved in this case
the innoxiousness — not
merely from Democratic
ascendency but from
Democracy; viz. if
quickly established.

Note that by the Unite case of these United States,
supposing it to be a parallel one — not and the
and the goodness of the government and the
felicity and security of the people in so far as in all respects depends upon the
goodness of the government such as is here alledged,
not merely only is the position in question proved, namely
that from democratic ascendancy as it would be
established by radicalism no preponderant evil is
to be apprehended, but that from pure democracy
such as it exists in that political state — from
pure Democracy supposing it quickly established
no such evil would be justly to be apprehended.

If from Democracy
no evil, much less from
Democratic ascendency
under which securities
against mischievous
innovation would be
so strong and numerous.
(Here they are
encountered)

For a case in which
these securities had
place, and democratical
ascendency
accordingly and
not democracy.
see the case of Ireland.

Wh That which purely no person will be likely
to undertake to maintain is — that in respect to
the keeping of the state of things in the country from
pervasive change, to the prejudice of the no existing
rights of property and other rights of all sorts
the power which in the case in question would together
with all their property be left in the hands of the
Monarch, the Lords, and the existing Members of the
House of Commons, added to that of all possessors of
power and opulence within the kingdom, including
the whole power of the official establishment, military
as well as civil, would in any case be without
influence. [+] [+] against mischievous
innovation in
all its forms But all these are those so many elements of security
against which democracy dare not afford and which democratic
ascendency would afford which [+]2
[+]2 which it would
afford: and for proof
of them, the case of
will under the next
head be brought to
view
