Excerpt from On National Government, Vol. 2 of 2: First Part
Society begins with the connexion of man and Woman, by them it is continued, and thence it eu larges into tribes and nations. Though women are participators in the foundation of society, and though they are as numerous as the men, they have been in a great measure excluded from social rights, and in almost all states from civil govern ment. Aristotle' says, Barbarians make no distinc tion between women and Slaves; but he also says, and I suppose it agrees with his notions of propriety, that a husband rules his wife in a political manner Women in Greece, though far advanced beyond a state of slavery, possessed by no means a liberal situ~ ation. At Rome they lived in perpetual pupilages.

The author then examines the criteria for suffrage and eligibility for office, such as age, residency, and moral character. The book also delves into the various methods of selecting representatives, including elections by secret ballot, random lottery, succession, or rotation, and open suffrage. Through a comprehensive analysis of historical and contemporary examples, the author provides valuable insights into the principles of representative government and the importance of ensuring equitable and effective political participation.
