In England, at this day, if elections were open to all classes of people, the property of the landed proprietors would be insecure. An agrarian law would soon take place. If these observations be just, our government ought to secure the permanent interests of the country against innovation.

Power is anything that tends to render immobile and untouchable those things that are offered to us as real, as true, as good."
