To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— In fnort, every ftate, not incorporated with another by an equal reprefentation, and yet fiibjecl to its dominion, is enflaved in this fenfe. — Such was the flavery of the provinces lubjeft to antient Rojne ; and fuch is the flavery of every community, as far ss any other commur. Ity is inafter of it •, or as far as, in refpecl: of taxation and internal legiflation, it is not independent of every other community. Nor does it make any difference to fuch a community, that it enjoys ■within itfe...lf a free conflitution of government, if that conftitution is itfelf liable to be altered, fuf- pended or over-ruled at the difcretion of the ftate which poftefTes the fovereignty over it. But the flavery moft prevalent in the world has been internal flavery. In order better to explain this, it is proper to obferve, that all civil go- vernment being either the government of a wbok by ///d"//, or of a whole by a power exlraj^eous to it, or of a zvho/e by a pnrt ; the firft alone is Li- berty, and the two laft are Tyranny, produc- ing the two forts of flavery which I have men- tioned.
