Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Roman Catholic Claim to the Elective Franchise Discussed: In an Essay Upon the True Principles of Civil Liberty and Free Government It has been judiciously remarked by an eminent historian, that "when the human mind is roused by grand objects, and agitated by strong passions, its operations acquire such force that they are apt to become irregular and extravagant; - and "that such irregularities abound most at that particular period, when men having thrown off the authority of their ancient principles, do not fully comprehend the nature, or feel the obligation of those new ones which they have embraced. The mind in that situation pushing forward with the boldness which prompted it to reject established opinions, and not guided by a clear knowledge of the system substituted in their place, disdains all restraint and runs into wild notions, that often lead to scandalous or immoral conduct." Though these observations are applied by Dr. Robertson, to that revolution in the minds of men upon the subject of religion, which early in the 16th century produced the reformation; yet they will be found equally just if applied to the present period, when towards the close of the eighteenth century so extraordinary a revolution has taken place in the minds of a great nation upon the subject of government.
