Excerpt from Quality, the Prevailing Element in Representation Representation, the delegation of the sovereignty of citi zens to a body of trustees or legislators, has been fully treated in various ways and by differing schools of thought. To my mind there Should be discrimination in representa tion itself. It has been the qualitative element in this sys tem of delegated functions which has controlled the action and the resultant government of the voters, legislators and governors of New England. It is the essence, rather than the bulk, of the governed, which has manifested itself in the choice of o leers, and which has finally issued forth in legislative and executive action. The meaning of the word is always most affected by its great Opposite - quantity or bulk. In this study we need a closer definition. Locke, after explaining his doctrine of ideas, says, whatever the mind perceives in itself, or is the immediate Object of per ception, thought or understanding, that I call idea and the power to produce any idea in our mind I call quality Of the subject wherein that power is. The practical Blackstone gives a definition that we can handle and feel in its actual contact with common affairs.
