六十二篇

如果是在一个单一制的国家中，那么各个地区在中央政府中应该享有一种按比例的代表权；如果是在一个由若干独立的主权国家联合而成的同盟中，不管各方的大小，它们在联合议会中应该享有平等的代表权。

If indeed it be right, that among a people thoroughly incorporated into one nation, every district ought to have a PROPORTIONAL share in the government, and that among independent and sovereign States, bound together by a simple league, the parties, however unequal in size, ought to have an EQUAL share in the common councils, it does not appear to be without some reason that in a compound republic, partaking both of the national and federal character, the government ought to be founded on a mixture of the principles of proportional and equal representation.
