But no senate nor civil assembly can be under such natural impulses to honor and justice as single persons. For a majority is no-body when that majority is separated, and a collective body can have synteresis, or divine ray, which is in the mind of every man, never assenting to evil, but upbraiding and tormenting him when he does it: but the honor and conscience that lies in the majority is too thin and diffusive to be efficacious; for a number can do a great wrong, and call it right, and not one of that majority blush for it.
– Sir Walter Raleigh, Discourse on War in General [1614] |
