Er is geen betoog noodig om datgene aan te toonen wat het enkel opnoemen dezer stellingen bewijst; dat, namelijk, zulk een gouvernement als hier wordt omschreven, geenen enkelen zweem heeft van eene bondsrepubliek.- There is no need for an elaboration to establish what the mere mention of these propositions proves; that such a government as is described here has not the slightest hint of a federal republic.
