Document Summary
Nedham: that the people, (that is, such as shall be successively chosen to represent the people,) are the best keepers of their own liberties, and that for many reasons. First, because they never think of usurping over other men"s rights, but mind which way to preserve their own. Leading members have the ability to bend judicial and executive authority to their own private interests in order to increase their own reputations, wealth, and influence and that of their party"s. The majority = a faction if they refuse or deny a perfect equality to every member of the minority.
