§. 214. First, that when such a single person or prince sets up his own
arbitrary will in place of the laws which are the will of the society declared
by the legislative, then the legislative is changed. For that being, in effect,
the legislative whose rules and laws are put in execution, and required to be
obeyed, when other laws are set up, and other rules pretended and enforced than
what the legislative, constituted by the society, have enacted, it is plain
that the legislative is changed. Whoever introduces new laws, not being
thereunto authorised, by the fundamental appointment of the society, or
subverts the old, disowns and overturns the power by which they were made, and
so sets up a new legislative.
