"Karena itu, demokrasi semacam itu pernah menjadi tontonan turbulensi dan pertikaian; pernah ditemukan tidak sesuai dengan keamanan pribadi atau hak milik; dan secara umum hidup mereka singkat seperti kekerasan dalam kematian mereka. Politisi teoritik, yang telah melindungi spesies pemerintah ini, secara keliru mengira bahwa dengan mereduksi umat manusia menjadi kesetaraan sempurna dalam hak-hak politik mereka, mereka akan, pada saat yang sama, disamakan secara sempurna dan berasimilasi dalam harta, pendapat, dan hasrat mereka. ."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions.
