Edmund Burke: “A state of contempt is not a state for a prince: better get rid of him at once.”

Those who are servants in name, as well as in effect, do not like to be told of their situation, their duty, and their obligations.

By adhering in this manner and on those principles to our forefathers, we are guided, not by the superstition of antiquarians, but by the spirit of philosophic analogy.

But the course of succession is the healthy habit of the British Constitution.

As he is not to obey us, but we are to obey the law in him, our Constitution has made no sort of provision towards rendering him, as a servant, in any degree responsible.
