We must take it that easements have become an incident of land by an unconscious and unreasoned assumption that a piece of land can have rights . Parliament , in the second place , had long before 1884 practically admitted the truth of the doctrine in vain pressed upon his contemporaries by Burke ,23 when insisting upon the folly of the attempt made by the Parliament of England to exert as much absolute power in Massachusetts as in Middlesex , that a real limit to the exercise of sovereignty is imposed not by the laws of man but by the nature of things , and that it was vain for a parliamentary or any other sovereign to try to exert equal power throughout the whole of an immense Empire . I venture to assure all my readers that this forgetfulness of England and by England I here mean the country known , and famous , as England before the legal creation either of Great Britain or of the United Kingdom is a fashion opposed both to common sense and to common justice , and , like all opposition to the nature of things , will ultimately come to nothing . But the full strength of an anti-suffragist 's reply cannot be shown by any man who does not go a little further into the nature of things . Early proponents of electing judges expected , with similar naivete , that the electorate would choose judges based on their reputations as men of outstanding judicial competence and impartiality . As long , in short , as the present state of things continues , the Imperial Parliament , to the extent I have laid down , still treats any Dominion as on matters of Imperial concern subordinate to the sovereignty of the Imperial Parliament . Accept filters provide the most benefit on servers that are already so busy that they are configured with " KeepAlive Off " . The Imperial Parliament now admits and acts upon the admission , that any one of the Dominions has acquired a moral right to as much independence , at any rate in regard to matters occurring within the territory of such Dominion , as can from the nature of things be conceded to any country which still forms part of the British Empire . Under the foreign , and especially the French system , the form of laws , or in other words , of statutes , is permanently affected by the knowledge of legislators and draftsmen that any law will be supplemented by decrees .
