The Publisher Core Arguments on Wilkes Eligibility
The text critiques ministry arguments against Mr Wilkes and defends the right of freemen to govern. It asserts that the people hold ultimate sovereignty, that the electorate cannot be disinherited, and that representatives are mere trustees bound to preserve fundamental rights of the people. References to the London Gazette and European affairs follow, noting Barón St Odile’s reception in Rome and other state matters.
