Political Deontology

All this while how stands the real truth of the case?
Answer. On this footing In this way. For On The functionaries who
to render the governm if the constitution near what it pretends is pretended to be
a compleat safeguard for the interest of the people, would be
in a state of equally compleat dependence on
the constitutive power of the peoples case with relation
to the people in a state of compleat independence.
These are the persons in by whom the supreme legislative
and the immediately effective power of the state
are possessed, and this power being altogether doubted
of any really efficient check of any other than
a nominal and apparent one, what exists is
under the form of a popular government, a government
in effect absolute and despotic: a government
in which not to so much as the factitious image
of a pair of scales with a weight and a counterpoise
to that weight is exemplified.
