The makers of the constitution of 1776 knew this, as well as we know it now when the whole country has been, for years, ringing with the disclosures of corruption on al- James Sprunt Historical Publications most every hand, all of which, in my opinion, is directly tracea- ble to the conferring of the suffrage upon a foreign and inexpe- rienced, or a reckless and unscrupulous, electorate. Some of us are applying the hair of the dog to the bite, in the initative, ref- erendum and recall. It is cu...rious that all these are based upon the principles announced by Samuel Johnston in 1776, though de- rived by him from Montesqueiu, * that there can be no check up- on the democracy but the people themselves, and therefore he would have annual elections. We departed from this most demo- cratic principle in the Constitution of 1776, at the behest of Busi- ness, but now we are to return to it, as a protection against Busi- ness. In limiting the suffrage, then, the makers of the Constitution of 1776 were wise, in their day and generation.
