The Right Form of Government in a Federal Union
The passage argues that government by a single ruler is monarchy, by a few without a constitution is anarchy, and self government by mass laws is finocracy.

It emphasizes the need for a written instrument to define powers and duties and uphold a republican form of government within the Union.
