Description
Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Taxation
The great, the unanswerable argument in favour of uni versal suffrage is, not that it insures a better or purer govern ment, but that all must be contented with a government in which all have an equal voice. If it be deficient in this particular, if it fail to protect the poor against the oppression of the rich, or the rich against a destruction of their property by the poor, it is pro tanto a failure, and another method of representation should be adopted. - Address of Justice Brown. United States Supreme Court, before the Law Department of Yale University, J uly, 1895.
