Página 292 - My lords, I thought the slavish doctrine of passive obedience had long since been exploded; and. when our kings were obliged to confess that their title to the crown, and the rule of their government, had no other foundation than the known laws of the land, I never expected to hear a divine right, or a divine infallibility, attributed to any other branch of the legislature.
Página 305 - It is to your ancestors, my lords, it is to the English barons, that we are indebted for the laws and constitution we possess.
