II. Ireland
(3) 3 § The case stated
10
10. For compleating
the constitutional reform or improvement
required by
both interests, renunciation
of English Monarchies
exclusive right of initiating
Irish laws,
and his Parliaments
right of legislating
over Ireland were
necessary: and obtained:
viz by English Statutes
22.G.3.c : 22.G.3.c
10. For compleating that reform or rather improvement in the
Constitutional branch of the law of Ireland, in which the democratic
and the aristocratic interest of the country were used or
were regarded as being the same, a renunciation of the right
of the British Parliament to bind the Irish nation, and a
renunciation of the ve exclusive right of originating laws
on the part of the British Monarch were necessary: and
the armed association of Ireland being in full force, and
no force capable of opposing it in the hands of government
in either country in either or both countries, the requisite
laws were enacted and other measures taken w by the British Monarch
his Ministers and his Parliament.

11. Without evil words
regarding all this do
good done
1. No subversion of rights of
property
2. No subversion of the
Compilation or alledged
injury to do.
3. do. confessedly improved
4. morality and felicity in
all points indisputedly
transcendent
11. From the first to the last whatsoever had been done effected, as
by above the Irish people by and of them as was effected without
sensible worth regarding evil in any shape style to any amount worth regarding whatsoever: without "subversion
"of the rights or any rights of property" without
"subversion of the Constitution" or so much as alledged injury
to the Constitution, on the contrary with universally acknowledged
benefit and improvement of the Constitution: and
on an universal morality and felicity the good effects of it
was such as were so transcendent and so notorious, as
to have been the subject of acknowledgment and admiration
to all more of parties
12
12 Thus Volunteer
associated influence
democratic ascendency.
Not democracy: because
constituted authorities
continued unchanged,
by their immediate
operation every thing
done.
12. The power by which these effects were produced, wer may
with unquestionable propriety be termed Democratic ascendency.
It was not democracy, because in both countries from first to last the
authorities which it found constituted continued as it found them
without any the smallest change: and whatsoever was done towards the
reform or improvements in question was done affected was theirs were
the hands by the immediate operation of which it was done.
