That the king can do no wrong is a necessary and fundamental principle of the English constitution.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If the king refuses the constitution, I shall oppose him; if he accepts it, I shall defend him; and the day on which he gave himself up as my prisoner secured me more fully to his service than if he had promised me half his kingdom.
Why is it that the king can do no wrong? This shows they do not regard the king as being a human. But the king can do wrong.
It is foolishly thought by some that democratical constitutions will not, cannot, last; that the States will quarrel with each other; that a king, or at least a nobility, are indispensable for the prosperity of a nation.
A king without power is an absurdity.
For myself, therefore, I desire to declare that the principle that will govern me in the high duty to which my country calls me is a strict adherence to the letter and spirit of the Constitution as it was designed by those who framed it.
I would rather not be a king than to forfeit my liberty.
The Constitution remains brilliant in its overall design and sound with respect to the Bill of Rights and the separation of powers. But there are numerous archaic provisions that inhibit constructive change and adaptation. These constitutional bits affect the daily life of the republic and every citizen in it.
This principle is old, but true as fate, Kings may love treason, but the traitor hate.
The king must die so that the country can live.
Section 7 of the Constitution doesn't grant a power for the king to do whatever he wishes.
