Based upon the principles of right and justice, it seeks to league itself with intelligence and virtue. Its roots lie deep in the popular will, and in the popular sympathies is the chief source of its strength. " A government on such founda- tions has a double claim on the respect and loyalty of the citizen. On the one hand, because its laws are virtually made by the people ; and on the other hand because its strength and beneficence rest on the support which the people themselves give to the l...aw. And it is precisely here, that conscience is called upon not to resist, but to en- force the subjection of every soul, and to strengthen the authority of the laws. The man that refuses submission and resists the power, in one case, is doing that which tends to weaken the authority of government, in all other cases, and thus to bring it into contempt and to prostrate its conservative power as an agency for the public good.
