rights Taylor's wife enters

In the English language an imperfection particular
perhaps peculiar to that language contributes to the heaping
up of this confusion. In English I may say
it is right the speaking of a certain man and a certain
coal or a certain piece of land I may say it is right
he should have this coal or this piece of land. But by
in this case beyond dispute doubt nothing more do I express
than my satisfaction at the thought idea of his having
this same coal or land. This

This imperfection extends itself not to other language
this imperfection does not extend itself. Take the French
for instance. A Frenchman will not say il est
que est human cet habit: what he will say
is – il est juste que cet human cet habit.

This confusion has for its source the heat of
argument. When In the case of a political right when the
existence of it is admitted on all sides, all dispute ceases. But when
so it is that a man has been contending for a
political right which he either never has possessed, or
having in his possession, is fearful of losing, he will not
quickly be beaten out of his claim, but in default of the
political right or in as a support of to the political right asserts
he has a natural right. This imagined natural
right is a sort of thread he clings by: his having a in the case in question any official political
right as a supposed matter of fact the existence of the contrary
of which is but too notorious: and being so is but too capable of being
disproved. But out of this ground, he says he has a natural
right: a right given him by that kind goddess and governess whose legitimacy
who shall dispute: and having if he can manage so as to
get you to admitt the existence of this natural right, he has this man's favour
of the confusion the hope
of getting you to acknowledge
the existence of the correspondent
political right,
and your assistance towards in
enabling him to possess
it.
