at the time, nud exhibits what Oreek statesmen

opinion In tbe civilized world rather than what
could be practically applied in Greece. Tlin
consequence was that this constitution of 1822
was a dead letter; neither tbe Government nor
even the representatives of tae peiple paid any
attention to what they had enacted. Sttlt it
could be oberved during the War of Indepen
dence, amidst Bcenes ot destruction, anarchy,
and suderiuif without parallel in thtsceutury.
A party existed iuculcatiug the necessity for
settled pribciplesof government and forms of
itdibtnit-tratioa in opposition to the arbitrary
personal power assumed by party leaders
and military cbiets. UDtortuuateiy, no
man of euiiuence, except ton Atfralral
iliaoule?, appeared to possrss a mind with the
capacity for making his executive activity con
iorm to general laws; and Miaoule., being an
Albanian of Hydra, imperfectly acquainted
with the Greek laugua;e, was uatlt lor becom
ing tbe Washington of a nation of pedants.
Count CaD.edlmaa, who might have lail the
foundations ot iiational instuuM jus, mide every
principle ot liberty and law subordinate to
might in order to establish his o vn personal
government, ia 1832 Greece was mtde a king
dom by Great Britain, France and Russia, and
the crown was confmvd on Friuce O.ho ot'
Bavaria, then seventeen years of age. Iu 1833,
immediately on their arrival in Greece, the Bi
variun Kegeucy abolished the Constitution, in
direct violation of tbe promi-es giveu both by
the K.ug of Bavaria and by the three pro'ect
ing powers, who have had reason to regrut their
conusance at this act ot" royal larceny. After
robbing the Greeks of Ibeir constitutional
rights and incipient Institutions, the Bavarian
Kegents and King U'ho eovurned the Greek
kiutrtom despoiicallv for ten years.
During this period of personal
government, . tbe seeds of many pjti'.icil
and social evils were sown, whicn jielJed a
rauk and poisonous crop, and which still retard
the formation of a good system ot government.
In 1843 the Datteiice of tbe people was exhaus'ed,
and a revolution expelled tbe Bavariaus, put an
end to tbe despotic power ot Kino. Otho, and
framed a constitution on the cmtinentat model
of tbattime, with a salaried Heuate of vetrran
officials, aud a paid House of Representatives.
1'his constitution worked very ill, yet it lasted
nineteen years. Tae Senators were uamed for
lite. King Otho tilled the 8euute with men of
moderate capacity and es'reme servility, and
encouraeed jobbing and place-buntiag as sure
means rf ruakiun the members who received
4avors devoted to bis dynasty. The House of
Representatives was elected by universal suf
fraie, and tbe country was div ded iuto lartre
electoral d si nets. Personal cnara ;ter and koal
Interests were swaruped in a bog of democracy,
over which nothing but tbe splay feet ot tin

wi h th it onud juduaieot on matters of 'act
whK'h oiteo contrasts i oddly with Its absence
es regards tbe choiuo of titling times anl
occasions, gave the Greeks a lecture
on the qualities they ought to look for iu their
future k rg. ' '. .
They wi re informed that tbe British Govern
ment considered they would do well not to
cboore "a klrg under twenty yesrs ol iiee, hut
rather apritce of mature jeais, and ot some
ex.criejre 1n the world." (Uespa'ch of Earl
Rusi-ell to Mr. Scarle t, Nov. 29, 1802.) Tne
Greeks were not offended at the stj le 0' didact o
staUsmunship which has so otten given ortose
to other nations. Indeed, tbey a Inured the
institutions of Enelnnd so much the more,
linen they saw that tboe institutions had
made a Hucrates Secretary ol State; and, In
order to ensure tbe practical execution ot the
wine ad vice, tbe National Asi-embly invited the
British Government to select a urincc possess
ing tbet-e and other quulidcatinns of a good
king. Earl Russell had been erroneously
bflieyed by tbe Greeks to ro-&e-s a lar;e ao
qualntanre among royal an I serene b'gmcssps,
tit, like Themistoclcs, to raise a small S.atc to
the rank ar.d power of a great empire. Earl
Russell had nothing ready but tbe lantern ot
bis own advice, una when ho went about the
Couns of Europe holding it up In the face
of princes, he was not more successful in his
search for a good king t.ian IMosenes In
finding his honest Greek, tio, alter two mis
adveniures, the lo8 ot mnca precious time,
and a vast deal of diplomatic sneenne, he car
ried his counsels iiito practice by seiectiug lor
Greece a king of the ' mature age" of seventeen,
and with tbe "experience In th" world" ac
quired as a midshipman iu the Oamsbnavy.
The Greeks, haviog received tnoir Kiug trom
England, set seriously to work at formmg their
own CoiibtitutiOD. The Constitution ot 1864
differs lrom the oidinary typo of Continental
Constitutions, and its divergencies are tbe result
of a stttc of society aud opinions among East
ern ruces that cannot 1 ail to exert cou&idcrable
influence on the political orgamza.ion of the
Christian governments which have been formed
in the provinces separated trom Turkey, and
on tbe institutions iu tne course of f- rmation in
the Ottoman Empire itself. Some of tbe enact
men s of this Constitution probably foreshidow
the procedure ot dcmotacy, even lu the older
States of tbe Continent, as tbey advance
towards liberty. A new position is created lor
tbe Crown by placing it, in direct connection
with a single representative Chamber, witoout
even an Upper House or a Senate nominated
by the soveieign or elected by the people. This,
however, was not from anv theoretical pres
ence for a fin'jle Chamber. Tbe Greeks abolished
Kine Otho's Senate because it was a ne-t of cor
rurtion, nd tbey found that society in tne
Hellenic Kincdoni contained no class or men
whose position ot Independence afforded a
chance of forming a useful Senate. The alter
native was a Senate like that which had been
abolished, or n single Chamber, and putilic
opinion, not merely tbe momentary will ot tbe
populace, j rononnceO an omphalic decision on
the subject by abolisbiug a Council of 8. ate
which the Constitution almitted ou trial, alter
it had existed a year, Ou tbe other hand, tbts
Constitution of 18C4 constitutes a Cabinet as a
responsible feature ot executive admiuis ration,
standing between the Crown, tho Chamber,
and tbe people. The Miul.-tets are placed
under increased responsibility to the crown by
being compelled by the Constitution to act in
some cases in a body. The Km a has thus the
power of restrair.iLg the assumption of too a rent
authority by the Prime Minis er, who, as party
leader ot au overwhelming m ijority in a single
chamber, might become the master of bis col
leagues. By holdini; regular Cabinet Councils,
and compelling each Mmister to record his
opinion on every administrative measure
relating to his department, the Kiug may en
force responsibility by nu apical to facts. A
dis-olution will than show whether the people
adopt theopinion of the King or of the leaderof
a minority iu the Chamber. Tbe principle of
democracy is Cdrried out to its fullest extent by
electing a single chamber, and adopting vote by
bullot. and large electoral districts, wi.liout
relerence to municipalities or local interests.
Numbers are all iu all. Wealth can ouly nuke
Its way by corruption, knowledge by rlutery of
tbe mob, and poer by intimidation. Aud for
the pie.-eut the most promineut leatures of
constitutional govcrrraent in Greece are cor
ruption, national sell-laudation, aud eoveru
me.'it intimidation. The G eeks did not overlook
the dancer of a democracy bocominir a despo
tism when invested With unlimited poer, and
they attempted to place it under some restraint
by bcveral articles of tho constitution. Tae
iepcesentatives are Invested with iudependenco
by being elected lor four years. Demagogu?s
are ditcouradted by the provision that, to bj
elected a member of the chamber, the deputy
mu tbe domiciled, and possess political and civil
rights, for two vear in tue district previous v to
the election. He must alsj be thirty years of
age. Another provlsiou intended to restrain
both corruption aud governmenttl iutirm lation
excludes mayors ot mauiciualitius and paid
otlieials from becominc metnoeis of the chain
bcr. Officers of the army aud the navy can only
be membeis while on bait-pay, and ministers
have always a seat and voice iu the chamber,
but can vote only w ien they sit as deputies.
Tins Constitution presents two lmportaut quea
tions for consideration before we can arrive at
any conclusion concerning the probability of
the new type ol constitutional tnonarcay which
it presents woi king welt in practice, the tirst
is, how the authority of the crown can be e
cicfpcd by tbe king so as to control the power
ol the leader ot a majority in the chamber wao
becomes Prime Minister. The 1'rlnie Mi ulster
being the representative of democracy, and the
constitution declaring that all pjwer In the
8' ate has its source in the people, the Prime
Minister must be the most povcriul man in the
monarchy. The king, though superior in rank,
is only, as tar as tbe a (ministration goes, a
check on the Prime Miuisier. The second
question la, ny what means the power
of a single chamber can be prevented
from exercising uudue authority
In a democratic Mate. This question is far
more Important than the Crst, for good sr ivern
mcut has existed, and can exist, wdhut a
king, but is hardly po sible with the exercise of
unlimited power, whether in tbe baud, of a
single individual or a single chamber.
A kinit placed In coustaut contact with a
sluiile democratic chamber is in an extremely
delicate position. Tne authority ot tbecron
has tot jet been clearly traced out, and In
Greece both the constitution aud public opinion
demand that tbe king should be so'ue.uing
more than a popular pageant and som-ihlt g
different from a, decorated puup.:t in politics,
moved by the Priate Minister. Experience
alone can determine how far tbe kiug must
govern as well as reiun, and now Ixr tne p )wers
with which he is invented are availaMn lor
contiolting the govertinect. The exact Hants
of ibe administrative ac'.iou ol lhe er ju and
the personal action of tbe king in a huhiy ceu
tial'zed Lonstiiutiouitl monarchy lorru a ie
problem. Party coiruouou and ministenul
violeice might become irrepreesioie. evils,
unless the kng possehtea consivuiloual powers
for restraining them. The kine, to perform

There exists, however, in all Iree countries a
power tbat can en orce resp- nsiomty on Minis

any power with which a King can be Invested
bv any Coi stitution. That power is public
opinion. But public opinion con only be
lormcd by complete publicity ot every act of
government during a long period. Unfortu
nately, tbe little kirgdom of Greece has not
adopted a system ot publicity capable ol torm
ing a sound public ooiu on. Neither the
Crown nor the people can vet act as shepherds'
dogs ot the Constitution. Tue sccoud questiou,
by what meaus the power ot a single Chamber
can be prevented from exerting uudue autho

which it is extremely difficult to
answer satisfactorily. Yet, uuless the power of
a Mnele chamber be placed under some sys

constant recurrence ot arbitrary power in tne
hands of a pnrty majority; and though the

to become a government ot gendarmes. Local
institutions, or what is called sell govern
ment, can alone jroteet the people against tho
de-potism ot a majority, which tends to an
archy, or the despotism of a personal sovceian,
which tends to elective monarchy. ht Greeks
