Excerpt from A Treatise on the Right of Suffrage: With an Appendix There is a degree of popular in uence admitted into some of the European governments, which mod ifies, and sometimes to a great extent, the exercise of the executive authority, and gives it a direction and in uence highly favorable to popular rights. But there is no country in Europe where political and civil lib erry and popular rights form the very basis and funda mental principles of the government, as in the United States of America. In those countries, many of the most important powers of government are inherited by birth; and the people have no voice in designating the persons who shall exercise them. The powers of the government may be said to be embodied in certain families by hereditary right; and those who inherit them, to a certain extent, constitute the government of the country. They will, of course, be vigilant to suppress and prevent any movement of the people that shall have a tendency to deprive them of these pow ers, or to direct them so as to give an ascendancy to popular in uence.
