No Throne Foundation Worse Than Consent Of Free People
The author argues that legitimate government rests on the consent of the governed rather than hereditary right. He credits Queen Anne’s crown to the people’s consent, defends the clergy, and denounces Jacobites and their supporters while condemning politically motivated libels and fashionable excesses as harms to national liberty. The piece polemically contrasts lawful succession with Popish arbitrariness and laments wars, taxes, and social fashions.
