Time to get tougher
"Retief" wrote in message ... On Sat, 26 Dec 2009 18:13:57 -0800, Hawke wrote: You also have to understand that the idea of republican government in the 18th century was different from what we believe now. You can get into all kinds of arguments about what this word of that word means when you are talking about what the word meant in the 1700s and what it means today. Meanings change over time. What they meant by a republic in 1787 So Hawke is arguing that we haved changed from a goverment ruled by law, to a government ruled by majority. (after all, how can law be a mutable quantity -- see Madison's essay in the Federalist regarding this). And Hawke is "cleverly" trying to disguise the mutation by saying "meanings change over time"... Retief Define "time". ;-) |
