"The English people believes itself to be free;……" — Jean-Jacques Rousseau

"The English people believes itself to be free; it is gravely mistaken; it is free only during election of members of parliament; as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved; it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it."

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
