چکیده
Popular government presupposes the existence of liberty, equality, and justice as its fundamental principles. Theoretically these principles prevail in Michigan. Practically they do not. How is it as to political rights ? One-half of the people, though subject to the laws, have no voice in making those laws. Their right to vote and the right of the people to cast their votes for them is denied. Their only political right and opportunity is to bear their share of public burdens arbitrarily imposed by authority usurped from time immemorial. What is this but tyranny '. A tyrant is one who enjoys privileges that other citizens do not, and has lights that he is unwilling they shall have, and prevents their gaining. Is not the Michigan voter who opposes equal rights at heart as truly a tyrant as he who sits upon a despotic throne I Is the legislator lit and worthy to make laws for a people if he persistently opposes granting liberty, equality, and justice to one-half that people ?
