They have been constantly introduced by violence, or, in a concurrence of circumstances, little, if at all intended or foreseen. Notwithstanding the foregoing observation of Montesquieu, he appears to join in the opinion, which has very generally prevailed, that governments, like men, carry in themselves from their very origin, the seeds of dissolution; that man is fatally incapable of forming any which shall endure without degenerating.
