subject

In every free government, the people must give their assent to the laws by which they are governed. This is the true criterion between a free government and an arbitrary one. The former are ruled by the will of the whole, expressed in any manner they may agree upon; the latter by the will of one, or a few. If the people are to give their
assent to the laws, by persons chosen appointed by them,
the manner of the choice and the number chosen, must be such as to possess, be disposed and consequently qualified to declare the sentiments of the people for if they do not know, or are not
disposed to speak the sentiments of the people, the people do not govern, but sovereignty is in a few. Now, in a large extended country, it is impossible to have a representation, possessing the
sentiments, and of integrity, to declare the minds of the people, without having it so numerous and unwieldy, as to be subject in great measure to the inconveniency of a democratic government..."
