of majore take 5OOOOOOO people who subject the
laws and accommodations How far could 3800OOO0
imposing their demands the 2000002 Suppose
SS0000OO would allow the 100000 worship they
desired? Could the 100000 do way Suppose all the
asons and Knights of Pha in the United States would desire
to drive out all the Odd Fellows? they accomplish
desire? Suppose the three largest powers make certain
demands of the three smallest natons What would the

largest powers.
From the above, it is that through the comfort of
numbers quite possible for appearance of tyranny through
the strength of maorties Indeed the democratic
government the ideal form of government but like all ideal
things it must be carefully wached- is good-n
