With regard to the com- itia curiata, in which the Roman populace alone formed the majority, as they served only to favor tyranny and evil designs, they deserved to fall into discredit, the se- ditious themselves refraining from a means which would too plainly reveal their projects. It is certain that the full majesty of the Roman people was found only in the comitia centuriata, which were alone complete, seeing that the rural tribes were absent from the comitia curiata and the Senate and the p...atricians from the comitia tributa. The mode of collecting the votes among the early Ro- mans was as simple as their manners, although still less simple than in Sparta. Each gave his vote with a loud voice, and a recording officer duly registered it; a ma- jority of votes in each tribe determined the suffrage of the tribe; a majority of votes among the tribes deter- mined the suffrage of the people; and so with the curice centurice. This was a good practice so long as probity prevailed among the citizens and every one "was ashamed io8 THE SOCIAL CONTRACT to record his vote publicly for an unjust measure or an unworthy man; but when the people were corrupted and votes were bought, it was expedient that thev should be given secretly in order to restrain purchasers by distrust and give knaves an opportunity of not being traitors.
