Wilkes was a sign that the populace was slowly awaking to a sense of its own power.
The charge that he supported the Revolution in America and deserted it in France is without meaning; for in the one there is no word that can honorably be twisted to support the other.
The more equality there is in a State, the more use, in general, we can make of our freedom.
The contract is thus not general as with Hobbes but limited and specific in character.
