The only ground and reafon why any nian Ihould be bound by the actions of another who meddles with his con cerns, is, that he himfelf chofe that other to the office : If he really did thio, rhen i: is bur jail that be ihonld be bound by the aQion ; but this cannot be if the choice be wanting, wh.ch is the only thing that could give the right of icpre- fenting. Thus, in the cafe of arbitrators, none have aright to take upon them fuch an office without the choice of tKe parties concerned; and it is that choice alone that can oblige them to fubmit to the award. The pradice of doing ftuhnefs by reprefentatives, was introduced for conveniency. £,very man who haa any intereft in a place or bufinefs, has a natu ral right to interfere in the management of iu comhm, iii piOportloB to that intereft. But bccniife this could nihcon- veniendy b^ done by every man in peiibn, therell|||| chi* method of chofing one or snore perftms to reproient apd a^ for them, was adopted. As every diftiod intereftih a go vernment ought to have its due weight in the adminiftratton of public affisirs, ft> each of tnofe intcrefts Ihould havo the appointment of reprelentatives, in number as near as may be, proportiofute to their intereft in an importance to tlie government in general. Confiftency and lanienefs of intcrclls ought to be the rule to determine what individuals ii a Hate ihould vote for repreienutives for that particular intmft. The intereft of all the eledors for the fame repreienatites, fhOnld be ftmilar and confillent, otherwife the lame peribas could not reprefent them, nor promote the intereft of fonic, without detriment to others. Wherever thm is fuefa'n coin- cidance of intcrefts, all the partkalars included ip it, might concur in the choice of the fame repreientatives, hut not otherwise. If the interells of the eledors were dppolite, they could not vote for the fame reprefentativesbecanfe, by thus fetting up one intereft in oppofition to another, the weakeft of the two would be excluded from its due mftaence in the general aiiembly j whereas the general aftegsbly of reprefentatives, ought to be at near as poflible an *va/> epi tome of the whole body of the nation ; and ad as it might rraftmably be fuppofed the nation would ad, if every in^- vidual was duly qualiied and aded for himfelf ■■■ ■ Tho r dM.propornon between the intereft fnbftftnig fa a jhUti .Mft thofe in the general aftembly of the people's re* prefcntadveB, is kept op, the better——-for this is diing defiga'd ia the original inftitotion of reprefentattvea.
