Edmund Burke: “If you mean to please any people, you must give them the boon which they ask,--not what you may think better for them…”

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.

But the king of Great Britain obeys no other person; all other persons are individually, and collectively too, under him, and owe to him a legal obedience.

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.

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