The most pow- erful prince of the circle was its director. He summoned the States composing it to dehberate ; he executed their resolutions; and went to the assistance of such as were threatened with vio- lence. Two tribimals of the empire, one at Wetzlar, the other in Vienna, rendered justice between these very different classes of confederates — kings, princes, bishops, abbots, and republics. Such as it was, this constitution was a venerable nionmnent of ages. It exhibited some of the charact...eristics of liberty, not of that which affords protection t^ each citizen in modern society, but of that liberty whicli protects weak States against powerful States, by allow- ing them to defend, in the bosom of a confederation, their existence, their property, their particular rights, and to appeal from the tyranny of the stronger to the justice of all. Hence arose a cer- tain development of mind, a profound study of the law of na- tions, great art in managing men in assemblies, very similar, though seemingly dillercnt to that which is practised in the representative governments of the present day.
