Edmund Burke: “Let government protect and encourage industry, secure property, repress violence, and discountenance fraud, it is all…”

It therefore secures both an hereditary crown and an hereditary allegiance.

The House of Lords, for instance, is not morally competent to dissolve the House of Commons,--no, nor even to dissolve itself, nor to abdicate, if it would, its portion in the legislature of the kingdom.

No experience has taught us that in any other course or method than that of an hereditary crown our liberties can be regularly perpetuated and preserved sacred as our hereditary right.

Though a king may abdicate for his own person, he cannot abdicate for the monarchy.
