Excerpt from Women in English Life, Vol. 2 of 2: From Mediævsl to Modern Times
In earlier ages the life of the State was the life of the people. Every citizen of every city in Greece had a voice in directing the destinies of his country. In early England the civil polity was a polity composed of the people and the people's representatives. The principle was the same, and the change to a more aristocratic form was only effected by the retention of a large measure of the democratic principle.
