Sect. 197.
AS
conquest
may
be
called
a
foreign
usurpation,
so
usurpation
is
a
kind
of
domestic
conquest,
with
this
difference,
that
an
usurper
can
never
have
right
on
his
side,
it
being
no
usurpation,
but
where
one
is
got
into
the
possession
of
what
another
has
right
to. This,
so
far
as
it
is
usurpation,
is
a
change
only
of
persons,
but
not
of
the
forms
and
rules
of
the
government:
for
if
the
usurper
extend
his
power
beyond
what
of
right
belonged
to
the
lawful
princes,
or
governors
of
the
commonwealth,
it
is
tyranny
added
to
usurpation. Sect. 198.
In
all
lawful
governments,
the
designation
of
the
persons,
who
are
to
bear
rule,
is
as
natural
and
necessary
a
part
as
the
form
of
the
government
itself,
and
is
that
which
had
its
establishment
originally
from
the
people;
the
anarchy
being
much
alike,
to
have
no
form
of
government
at
all;
or
to
agree,
that
it
shall
be
monarchical,
but
to
appoint
no
way
to
design
the
person
that
shall
have
the
power,
and
be
the
monarch.
Hence
all
commonwealths,
with
the
form
of
government
established,
have
rules
also
of
appointing
those
who
are
to
have
any
share
in
the
public authority,
and
settled
methods
of
conveying
the
right
to
them:
for
the
anarchy
is
much
alike,
to
have
no
form
of
government
at
all;
or
to
agree
that
it
shall
be
monarchical,
but
to
appoint
no
way
to
know
or
design
the
person
that
shall
have
the
power,
and
be
the
monarch.
Whoever
gets
into
the
exercise
of
any
part
of
the
power,
by
other
ways
than
what
the
laws
of
the
community
have
prescribed, hath
no
right
to
be
obeyed,
though
the
form
of
the
commonwealth
be
still
preserved;
since
he
is
not
the
person
the
laws
have
appointed,
and
consequently
not
the
person
the
people
have
consented
to.
Nor
can
such
an
usurper,
or
any
deriving
from
him,
ever
have
a title,
till
the
people
are
both
at
liberty
to
consent,
and
have
actually
consented
to
allow,
and
confirm
in
him
the
power
he
hath
till
then
usurped.
