^ CHAP. xvnr.
Of the means of preventing the ifurl>ai'ions of go'jernrncnt, IP RO M the foregoing ilkiArati-ons refults the . confirmation of what is afTerted in the XVIth chapter, viz. that the act which inHi- tiites government is not a contract but a law ; that the depoAtories of the executive power ara I 3 i.ot 174 A T R E A T I S E ON the not the mafters, but the fervants of the people ; that the people may appoint or remove them at pleafure ; that they have no pretence to a con- trail with
... the people, but are bound to obey them ; and that in accepting the offices the ftate impofes on them, they only difcharge their duty as citizens, without having any fort of right to difpute the conditions.
When it fo happens, therefore, that the people eflablifh an hereditary government, whether monarchical, and confined to one particular family, or ariflocratical, and divided among a certain order of citizens, they do not enter thereby into any formal engagement ; they only give the adminiftration a provifional form, which remains legal till they think proper to change it.
