If the people could be brought to submitt to & relish the
innovation, the Scheme that has been handed about in
discourse for dissolving that present joint Aristocracy
the source of so many bickerings & jealousies,& parcellling
it out into so many little independent Sovereignities
seems to promise no inconsiderable advantage in the simplifying of this head of Law.
It is certain the bulk of the People in a very large
proportion would be no loosers, they are restrained already
from intermeddling with these pursuits by Laws
which either are or ought to be if suffered at all sufficient
for the purpose for which they are made — on the
contrary they would be gainers by the abolition of these
odious and unpopular preferences: preferences which are
an wanton & useless violation of that equality which the
Laws of every commonwealth in proportion as they are good
labour to & secure by all gentle methods.
If the maximum "preferences which are given to Riches, as"
" such, at the expense of poverty should be paid for" were
steadily pressured,(& surely there is no instance in which
it would be more reasonable to pursue it)& a man's —
---page break---
having much was not looked upon as a reason why—
abstracted from everyconsidisation of merit, much—
should be given to him nor a man's having little why
that should be taken away from him even of that
little which he hath, it would be thought but reasonable
that those who have not the properity of the Soul
to show as the foundation of their claim to the Animals
that sustain themselves by it's produce should do
something towards easing those of a part of the common
brethren by the conclusion of whom the privileges
they wish for is to be confored: that even the owners
of the Soil could give some compensation for the surrender
of those rights which Nature made conexistent with &
oemulous of their own: I treat this as
a natural right, which has even been considered as
such by Fascists& which they are very well warranted
so to consider by the many circumstances indicative
of "general expectation of such a right, the only
origen and title/ as I have towards v. Introduction of natural rights
where original Utility stands neuter.
