Excerpt from The Constitutional History of the United States, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Adoption of the Articles of Confederation to the Close of Jackson's Administration

From this hurried notice of the progress of the power of the House of Commons, it is easy to see the vast influence they exerted in giving a tendency to the mind, an impetus to the sentiments, of the people, 1n the direct and onward track for freedom, whose representative they were proud to be, as they instilled ln their hearts a warm and devoted attachment to justice and liberty. It was in the House of Commons the first seeds of free principles were planted, which, by gradual maturity, have made England a country of permanent and most enlightened institutions, compared with all the govern ments of the Old World.
