More from Edmund Burke
Their trust for the future preservation of the Constitution was not in future revolutions.
But the course of succession is the healthy habit of the British Constitution.
The people of England will not ape the fashions they have never tried, nor go back to those which they have found mischievous on trial.
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.
