I have ihewn the mifchiefs which the ftruggles for executive power occafion in a republican government, and remarked the fucceffive factions and difturbances, deftroy- ing all domeftic fecurity of individuals, and all peace and happinefs in the community. I have fhewn that thefe ftruggles in the end go to deftroy the republic itfelf, and confirm one man, or one fet of men, in power and tyranny. I will now explain how this is avoided in the Britim conftitution of government ; and with refpedl: t...o the governed, I will clearly fliew that under that conftitution liberty^ equality, and the rights of men in civil fociety are dealt out to all, and fecured to all, better and more fully than they ever have been, or are [ " J are ever likely to be under any other form of government whatever. Firft, in regard to the extenfive power of the king: whilft every proper controul is laid on his official conduct, and the means of extending or abuiing that power (namely, arms and money) are checked by confiding them only from year to year ; the nation hath all the advantages and fecurity which can be- long to any executive power, under name of executive council, or other name whatever, which is annually appointed in a democratic republic.
