Outside of this, he believes that government should be small and rather passive.
1. Government should only concern itself with preservation of public security and order
2. It accomplishes this by by taking control of religion, magistracy, revenue, and the military
3. Government otherwise should be small and limit its interactions in individual matters. ]]> 2017-12-11 18:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/efreeman71/af08qmdz8q8a/wish/215155118 "The People." Majority Rule https://padlet.com/efreeman71/af08qmdz8q8a/wish/215155250 Burke believes that any sort of corporation of people is artificial, and the concept of majority rule is "one of the most violent fictions of positive law that has ever been, or can be."

1) compulsive incorporation must be null and void - any person has a right to be an individual

2) "when you separate the common sort of men from their proper chieftains, so as to form them into an adverse army, I no longer know that venerable object called the people in such a disbanded race of deserters and vagabonds."

3) "In a state of rude nature there is not such things as a people. A number of men in themselves have no collective capacity."]]> 2017-12-11 18:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/efreeman71/af08qmdz8q8a/wish/215155250 A PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATIVE NOT A MERE DELEGATE https://padlet.com/efreeman71/af08qmdz8q8a/wish/215155735 Burke believes that once a delegate is elected to parliament he ought always seriously consider the opinions of his constituents but he's bound to implicitly represent one interest - that of the whole nation. 

1) Government and legislation are matters of reason and judgement not inclination. 

2) To deliver an opinion is the right of all men.

3) Member of Parliament is bound to obey, to vote, and to argue for authoritative instructions, though contrary to the clearest conviction of his judgment and conscience.]]> 2017-12-11 18:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/efreeman71/af08qmdz8q8a/wish/215155735 AN ARISTOCRACY ESSENTIAL TO THE CONSTITUTION OF A STATE https://padlet.com/efreeman71/af08qmdz8q8a/wish/215156721 2) There are certain individuals in society who are born with a higher level of intellect or talent, and hence are designated to be the leaders of society in order to prevent savagery and chaos. It is in the best interest of the state to have, and endorse, this aristocracy.
3)  Facts:
- The state of civil society is a   state of nature, and civil society naturally generates a aristocracy
- To not acknowledge this inherent hierarchy is to undermine society as a whole
-  "We are as much in a state of nature in formed manhood as in  immature and helpless infancy. "
