Radicalism not dangerous
(4) 4 § Bill of Rights abrogated
From its being in its nature at all times capable of
being applied employed to the establishment of despotism, and thereby
to the subversion of whatever there was of good in the constitution,
it does not follow that at any time this must have been
the purpose for which it was employed.
It is only of late years that it has been actually
employed in this view and for this very purpose.
That the Monarch should at all times have been
ready to apply it to these purposes sooner rather than part with
the least particle of power, follows from the very nature of
man in every situation without exception and in that situation
in particular. That the Monarch should at all
times find the having instruments who in the situation
of Ministers would be ready to with him in giving
to it this employment to it, is an equally necessary consequence
of the same cause. That a body of men having possessing a part
in the supreme authority that part a body of men
acting or not acting in the name of the people, nominated
in part as even in the whole by the free suffrage of the people
should also concurr with him in giving the same employment
to the same instrument of the sa each occasion
in the eyes the majority of them whether by his hands or by any other cause made it was their personal interest
so to do is also another a necessary consequence of the same cause.
