" This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind.

But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual, and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction,...
