Introd. 3
government. In this sense the quantity of constitu-
-tional liberty in a country is in equal proportion to
the share which the whole body of the people possess in the
exercise of the powers of government: and as the per-
-fection of security, or security of mentioned without
limitation means the absence of all damage, so
the perfection of constitutional liberty in this sense an-
constitutional liberty in this sense without limitation
consists not in the absence of of security
resulting from abuse of power on the part of the persons
exercising the power of government, but in the exercise
of the powers of government on every occasion by
every member of the community, by every one of the
persons to be governed, by every member of the community
men and women adults and minors, sane and insane, convict and unconvicted,
without distinction of a single individual. In
this sense liberty is the absence of all government other
than democratic government constituted and conducted in
the way just last mentioned. In this sense liberty, as confer-
-red to an the individual seems to be include synonymous to power
or a chance of power: the power of coercing other
individuals — the power of the liberty of other
individuals.
