Edmund Burke: “Nothing else is left to you,--or rather, you have left nothing else to yourselves.”

Who could doubt but that, at any expense to the state, of which they understood nothing, they must pursue their private interests, which they understood but too well?

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

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.
