Address On Government Original Contract And Public Grief
An 1782 letter criticizes British governance citing the original social contract, parliamentary scrutiny, and dangers of corruption. It argues elections must curb royal influence, urge frequent elections, and stress vigilance against aristocratic entrenchment and property-based boroughs. It invokes Roman policy and Livy to frame arguments about liberty, representation, and reform.
