There is something exceedingly ridiculous in the composition of monarchy; it first excludes a man from the means of information, yet empow- ers him to act in cases where the highest judg- ment is required. The state of a king shuts him from the world, yet the business of a king require him to know it thoroughly; wherefore the differ- ent parts, unnaturally opposing and destroying each other, prove the whole character to be absurd and useless.
