Indirect Legislation § 6
Political
the manner in which the business should be brought gone
about: and this surely if any would be a case
in which instruction should precede coercion:
and in which every degree of attention and condescension to the that
prejudices could be shewn to the sentiments of the people would be no more than
requisite. Peter the Great did a bold thing when
he undertook to despoil his subjects of their beards
Here as the utility would be more palpable
so would the hazard be still greater: I mean
as far as any dependence is to be placed on
analogical conjecture in a matter so uncertainty of such variety
and such uncertainty as the humours of the people.

2. It might lend
strength to tyranny
The other objection is of a more strong intractable stubborn
nature kind. mould and of a more steady nature. grounded in a more steady principle.
It would however carry different degrees of force
with it in different countries, that is under different
political constitutions. But this is a matter which
belongs to the subject head of constitutional law. It
seems probable, and if it should be true, it will
be a little unfortunate, that the countries in which
if adopted it would be least in danger of being abused would are
those in which it would be most difficult to
get it acquiesced in. submitted to:
