Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Free Britons Supplemental Memorial to the Electors of the Members of the British Parliament: Wherein the Origin of Parliaments in Europe, and Other Interesting Matters Are Considered That the rights and liberties of the Britons, whereon their noble spirit, their felicity, and their safety so far depend, are protected and secured by your right to chuse the representatives of the commons in parliament, with perfect freedom from the interposition and control of the ministers of kings, the toleration whereof would leave to you, to your fellow-citizens, and to posterity the bare name of liberty, accompanied with the infamous practice of paying dear for their fetters; wherefore the origin, nature, and proper use of this right are worthy of the most careful consideration and observance. That the good of mankind being the proper end of their government, that form is questionless the most excellent which is best adapted to promote and continue it; and when human societies proceed in their institution of government, the great object of their desire is to secure, as far as possible, the common welfare of the members, and of their descendants, whose vigilance and vertue are requisite for them to enjoy, and transmit to their posterity, the public benefits received from the labours and sufferings of their ancestors. That although princes and other rulers have not their authority for or from themselves, and their true and lasting interest can not differ from that of the people; yet, through the want of public vertue.
