In France an hereditary monarchy was fore merly the basis of ali law, but this form of govern- ment was overthrowa by the revolution, which sub- siituted for it the will of the people. Louls Bona parte recognized this new principle. The empire | ‘Was established and he himself made Emperor by tt alone. It ts true that seme part of this right seemed to be resigned by the rrench, as they under- took to accept his heir as Emperor, and thus appa- rently cstablished a new hereditary dynasty; but, on the other hand, the nperlal constitution recog. nized (he responsibilty of the Emperor to the people. Now, the rignt of calling any ruler to account im- plies the mght of deposing him If he be found gnilty, and conseauenuy i appears that the dynasty of Na- pgleon was only legitimate as long as it did not for- ‘eit iis rights, This, of course, ivcoula only do by foms uncoastiiutional act; but, as the acquserg fut 1 the judge are patter Jn the people, trom Wom tsi is DO appeal, the decisioh of thé Question whether oh an act has kecn committed lies entirely in their 4%. Should the people decide agalost the iim- , and should he attempt to prevent or even ‘ay Ue execation of their sentence, tho right of revolution would follow from the fact of nis respon. sibility belng acknowledged. If we inquire whetlier the revolution of the 4th September can be justified on these principles we must reply in the negative, , tor the revolutionary party has not oven attempted j; to prove the Emperor guilty of aa unconstitutional | act, on the ground of which he migit be deprived of | the rights granted him by the people. The coup | @erat of the 2d December was not directed against the existing constitutton, and by the inacinmity } granted by the people it has been placed among the res judicata, on which no new accusation can be founded. Napoleon UE has always acted m bar mony with the apirit and lever of ine constitution; indeed, When the opposition gained unusual strevgth he altered it in harmeny with the wishes of the rol. nority, and then again submitted the new constitu tion (0 the people, thus giving them a tull opportu. nity ef condenaming {t.
