In England, at this day, if elections were open to all classes of people, the property of the landed proprietors would be insecure. An agrarian law would soon take place. If these observations be just, our government ought to secure the permanent interests of the country against innovation. Landholders ought to have a share in the government, to support these invaluable interests and to balance and check the other[i.e the interest of the landless poor]. They ought to be so constituted as to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority. The senate, therefore, ought to be this body
Don't ever be surprised when the Senate is doing literally exactly what it was designed to do. Back in the day, they didn't even try to keep it secret, they just openly said it out loud. "We're gonna build a government that protects the interests of the rich. So we can't have representative democracy because there are too many poors! They would vote away our wealth" He said it so openly, it's like a perverse inversion of Marxism.
