I am convinced that the most advantageous situation and the best possible laws cannot maintain a constitution in spite of the manners of a country; whilst the latter may turn the most unfavorable positions and the worst laws to some advantage.
Komentzituta nago egoerarik zoriontsuenak eta legerik onenek ezin diotela ohituren kontrako konstituzio bati eutsi, baina ohiturek onura ateratzen dute egoerarik kontrakoenetatik eta legerik txarrenetatik ere.
