Context
“We consider that the judgment of one An of ordinary capacity is better than the judgment of three or more, however wise they may be; for among three there would probably be disputes, and where there are disputes, passion clouds judgment. The worst choice made by one who has no motive in choosing wrong, is better than the best choice made by many who have many motives for not choosing right." "You reverse in your policy the maxims adopted in my country." "Are you all, in your country, satisfied with your governors?" "All! Certainly not; the governors that most please some are sure to be those most displeasing to others."”
