In abandoning and replacing him a democracy is not recreant to the principle of individual liberty.

It is merely subjecting individual liberty to conditions which promote and determine its continued efficiency.

Such conditions never have been and never will be imposed for long by individuals or classes of individuals upon themselves.

They must be imposed by the community, and nothing less than the whole community.

The efficient exercise of individual power is necessary to form a community and make it whole, but the duty of keeping it whole rests with the community itself.
