Transcription

That equity must sometimes modify, in favor of majorities as well as minorities, even the rights of a theoretical justice where that is found to work too great harm to the nation as a whole. Without recognition of such principles, we have not a state but a free-for-all, with every man and group working for himself and nobody working for the nation.

On the contrary, our Constitution and our representation system made this country a republic.
