TIE only advantage the ballot has
over the autocratie monarchy as a
means OF government is that it vastly
increases the number OF those who
must consent to act against the com
mon sense Of all before the desire to dc
so can be expressed through legisla-
tion and given the compelling force OF
law. A million men are entirely ca
pable Of being ignorant foolish and
criminal in q given case, but it is
harder to unite them in the given
case than it is to join an autocrat and
his fayorite in common purpose.
Thus the sole advantage OF the ballot
Is that it makes common sense more
secure against the operations of legis-
lation, implying the use OF force.
