There are a thousand examples of the truth of this in the history of every country in Europe ; there is hardly one to prove it false. Hungary had experienced many disasters before the battle of Mohacs, but none which struck so deadly a blow at her liberties. Her spirit was broken by the ravages of the Turks; and torn by dissensions from within, she was forced to cast herself at the feet of Austria, and merge her history in that of a family of despots. The principle of election now gave way to t...hat of hereditary descent, and more than this, singular complications arose in the working of the legislative machinery, from the fact that the king was no longer a national monarch. He had other states and other interests to attend to ; he resided at a distance from the seat of government ; he could if necessary, by the subsidies and military force of his other dominions, render himself quite independent of the siipplies or remonstrances of the diet. The consequence of this was, that the national assembly had its attention altogether diverted from its proper sphere of duty.
