“`A
country is in a bad state which is governed only by laws; because a thousand
things occur for which laws cannot provide, and where authority ought to
interpose. Now destroying the authority of the chiefs set the people loose. It
did not pretend to bring any positive good, but only to cure some evil; and I
am not well enough acquainted with the country to know what degree of evil the
heritable jurisdictions occasioned.’”
