A Love Of The Republic In A Democracy Is A Love Of The Democracy, As The Latter Is That Of Equality. A Love Of The Democracy Is Likewise That Of Frugality. Since Every Individual Ought Here To Enjoy The Same Happiness, And The Same Advantages, They Should Consequently Taste The Same Pleasures And Form The Same Hopes, Which Cannot Be Expected But From A General Frugality.
