 30 112    |           how probable it is, that people that were naturally free,
 31 112    |         laid in the consent of the people. I say peaceful, because
 32 117    |           in a multitude together; people take no notice of it, and
 33 131    |       promulgated and known to the people, and not by extemporary

 36 137    |    promulgated laws; that both the people may know their duty, and
 37 138    |    supposes and requires, that the people should have property, without
 38 138    |            they think fit from the people: for a man's property is
 39 140    |          lay and levy taxes on the people, by his own authority, and
 40 140    |        without such consent of the people, he thereby invades the
 41 141    |           delegated power from the people, they who have it cannot
 42 141    |        pass it over to others. The people alone can appoint the form
 43 141    |        that shall be. And when the people have said, We will submit
 44 141    |         laws for them; nor can the people be bound by any laws, but
 45 141    |             being derived from the people by a positive voluntary
 46 142    |    ultimately, but the good of the people.~Thirdly, They must not

 48 142    |         without the consent of the people, given by themselves, or
 49 142    |       being, or at least where the people have not reserved any part
 50 142    |           any where, but where the people have.~
 51 149    |         there remains still in the people a supreme power to remove
 52 149    |          because this power of the people can never take place till
 53 153    |        being placed in them by the people, it is always in them, and
 54 154    |        chosen for that time by the people, which afterwards return
 55 154    |           also be exercised by the people, either at certain appointed
 56 154    |            lie on, or threaten the people.~
 57 155    |          say, using force upon the people without authority, and contrary
 58 155    |            a state of war with the people, who have a right to reinstate
 59 155    |            and preservation of the people consists, the people have
 60 155    |           the people consists, the people have a right to remove it
 61 156    |         him, for the safety of the people, in a case where the uncertainty
 62 156    |           but be burdensome to the people, and must necessarily in
 63 157    |            in the same state. Thus people, riches, trade, power, change
 64 157    |      representatives chosen by the people, that in tract of time this
 65 157    |           whole county numerous in people, and powerful in riches.
 66 157    |            depending wholly on the people, no inferior power can alter
 67 157    |        alter it. And therefore the people, when the legislative is
 68 158    |  represented, which no part of the people however incorporated can
 69 158    |           well as intention of the people, to have a fair and equal
 70 158    |     manifestly for the good of the people, and the establishing the
 71 158    |           to injure or oppress the people, and to set up one part
 72 158    |      advantage to the society, and people in general, upon just and
 73 158    |           itself; and whenever the people shall chuse their representatives
 74 161    |       never is questioned: for the people are very seldom or never
 75 161    |            is, for the good of the people, and not manifestly against
 76 161    |            executive power and the people, about a thing claimed as
 77 161    |            the good or hurt of the people, will easily decide that

 79 162    |           for the public good, the people were fain by express laws
 80 162    |            prerogative were by the people found necessary in cases
 81 162    |          is, for the good of their people.~
 82 163    |      government, who say, that the people have encroached upon the
 83 163    |         indeed, if that be so, the people under his government are
 84 163    |           do things hurtful to the people.~
 85 164    | prerogative can be nothing but the people's permitting their rulers
 86 164    |         careful of the good of his people, cannot have too much prerogative,
 87 164    |           of the public, gives the people an occasion to claim their
 88 165    |          best princes; because the people, observing the whole tendency
 89 165    |            care of the public. The people therefore, finding reason
 90 166    |          to the liberties of their people: for when their successors,
 91 166    |           only for the good of the people was a right in them to do,
 92 166    |            do, for the harm of the people, if they so pleased; it
 93 166    |       public disorders, before the people could recover their original
 94 166    |        ever have a right to do the people harm; though it be very
 95 166    |           and reasonable, that the people should not go about to set
 96 168    |            the legislative and the people, should either the executive,
 97 168    |       enslave or destroy them. The people have no other remedy in
 98 168    |             exercising a power the people never put into their hands, (
 99 168    |          And where the body of the people, or any single man, is deprived
100 168    |          And therefore, though the people cannot be judge, so as to
101 175    |       thing but the consent of the people; yet such have been the
102 175    |        arms for the consent of the people, and reckon conquest as
103 175    |         without the consent of the people, can never erect a new one.~
104 177    |           them. And the conquering people are not, I hope, to be slaves
105 178    |         never incorporate into one people, under the same laws and
106 179    |          used against him: for the people having given to their governors
107 179    |      governors should use upon the people themselves, or any part
108 179    |         has no more title over the people of that country, who have
109 192    |          land of that country, the people who are the descendants

111 195    |           together, with all their people joined to them, are, in
112 196    |        other. Over the rest of the people, if there were any that
113 198    |  establishment originally from the people; the anarchy being much
114 198    |    consequently not the person the people have consented to. Nor can
115 198    |        ever have a title, till the people are both at liberty to consent,
116 199    |           of the properties of his people, but the satisfaction of

119 200    |       bound to protect as well the people, as the laws of his kingdom;
120 200    |           that paction made to his people, by his laws, in framing
121 201    |          for the government of the people, and the preservation of

126 209    |    extended to the majority of the people; or if the mischief and
127 209    |       generally suspected of their people; the most dangerous state
128 209    |       really means the good of his people, and the preservation of

130 210    |         which it was given: if the people shall find the ministers
131 212    |     consent and appointment of the people, without which no one man,
132 212    |        them to make laws, whom the people have not appointed so to
133 212    |       without authority, which the people are not therefore bound
134 213    |        chosen, pro tempore, by the people. Such a form of government

136 216    |       legislative appointed by the people.~
137 217    |           The delivery also of the people into the subjection of a
138 217    |        government: for the end why people entered into society being
139 218    |        part of the legislative, or people, is capable by themselves
140 219    |            visibly ceases, and the people become a confused multitude,
141 220    |       government is dissolved, the people are at liberty to provide
142 220    |           to look for any. To tell people they may provide for themselves,

144 222    |         society, and for which the people submitted themselves to
145 222    |        destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery
146 222    |            a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved
147 222    |      liberties, and estates of the people; by this breach of trust
148 222    |         they forfeit the power the people had put into their hands
149 222    |             and it devolves to the people, who. have a right to resume
150 222    |           public security? for the people having reserved to themselves
151 222    |        true representatives of the people, and the law-makers of the
152 223    |          it will be said, that the people being ignorant, and always
153 223    |            uncertain humour of the people, is to expose it to certain
154 223    |            long to subsist, if the people may set up a new legislative,
155 223    |        answer, Quite the contrary. People are not so easily got out
156 223    |       slowness and aversion in the people to quit their old constitutions,
157 223    |             they never carried the people so far as to place it in
158 224    |           hypothesis: for when the people are made miserable, and
159 224    |          the same will happen. The people generally ill treated, and
160 225    |       frailty, will be born by the people without mutiny or murmur.
161 225    |          the design visible to the people, and they cannot but feel
162 226    |         doctrine of a power in the people of providing for their safety
163 227    |     appointment and consent of the people; and so destroying the authority
164 227    |            the authority which the people did, and no body else can
165 227    |      introducing a power which the people hath not authorized, they
166 227    |             in whose decisions the people acquiesced and united, as
167 227    |           the knot, and expose the people a-new to the state of war,
168 227    |            and preservation of the people, their liberties and properties,
169 228    |      intestine broils, to tell the people they are absolved from obedience
170 229    |         best for mankind, that the people should be always exposed
171 229    |            the properties of their people?~
172 230    |           to the greater part, the people, who are more disposed to
173 230    |            this suspicion? Are the people to be blamed, if they have
174 230    |         arbitrary power over their people; whether oppression, or
175 230    |         rights of either prince or people, and lays the foundation
176 231    |           on the properties of any people, may be resisted with force,
177 232    |          That it is lawful for the people, in some cases, to resist
178 232    |            divine law shuts up the people from all manner of rebellion.
179 233    |           one should ask, Must the people then always lay themselves
180 233    |           considerable part of the people, in this case the people
181 233    |           people, in this case the people have a right to resist and
182 233    |        which is designed them, the people may prevent before it be
183 233    |            is the privilege of the people in general, above what any
184 233    |      patience; but the body of the people may with respect resist
185 237    |            case happen wherein the people may of right, and by their
186 237    |          will never permit it, The people therefore can never come
187 237    |          of a private man, and the people become free and superior,
188 237    |           regal authority over his people; which are also taken notice
189 237    |          to cut off the senate and people of Rome, lay the city waste
190 237    |            no longer a head to the people or senate, and that he had
191 237    |  Alexandria: and he wisht that the people had but one neck, that he
192 238    |        ancestors left him, and the people put free into his hands,
193 238    |         intention to prejudice the people; yet because he has hereby
194 238    |          he betrayed or forced his people, whose liberty he ought
195 238    |            so by this act sets the people free, and leaves them at
196 239    |            a state of war with his people, what shall hinder them
197 239    |         that is designed them, the people may prevent before it be
198 239    |          he betrayed or forced his people, whose liberty he ought
199 239    |     destructive to both rulers and people, that as former ages never
200 240    |         men may spread amongst the people, when the prince only makes
201 240    |  prerogative. To this I reply, The people shall be judge; for who
202 242    |           a prince and some of the people, in a matter where the law
203 242    |          should be the body of the people: for in cases where the
204 242    |           judge as the body of the people, (who, at first, lodged
205 243    |            can never revert to the people whilst that government lasts;
206 243    |            to the society, and the people have a right to act as supreme,
