Brutus Essay IV

“The great art, therefore, in forming a good constitution appears to be this: so to frame it as that those to whom the power is committed shall be subject to the same feelings, and aim at the same objects as the people do, who transfer to them their authority. There is no possible way to effect this but by an equal, full, and fair representation; this, therefore, is the great desideratum in politics.”

Brutus, Essay IV, November 29, 1787
