It is not sufficient to simply assert that this or that is thus or so.
Being so vastly in the majority, every office should be filled by them.
It is in the people themselves, and in the fundamental principles upon which society is built, and those which the people allow government to be administered upon.
What is seen is not the reality, but that through which the reality makes itself known.
