He might pervert his administration into a scheme of peculation or oppression. He might betray his trust to foreign powers. . . In the case of the Executive Magistracy, which was to be administered by a single man, loss of capacity or corruption, was more within the compass of probable events, and either of them might be fatal to the Republic. |
