Is also a political—the majority

Can do what they desire. I am consistent,

For from the first I've preached the people's rule,

Abided by the people's voice and taken

Defeat with grace because the people gave it.

So now I say the people have the right

To pass upon all questions. As I said

When starting as a public man, the people

Could have what Government they desired, in fact

A King, or despotism, if they voted for it.
