“But there is another and greater distinction for which no truly natural or religious reasons can be assigned, and that is, the distinction of men into KINGS and SUBJECTS.

For all men being originally equals, no one by birth could have a right to set up his own family
in perpetual preference to all others for ever, and though himself might deserve some decent degree of honors of his contemporaries, yet his descendants might be far too unworthy to inherit them. One of the strongest natural proofs of the folly of hereditary right in kings, is, that nature disapproves it, otherwise, she would not so frequently turn it into ridicule by giving mankind a donkey for a lion.
