monarchy, its several adjuncts died also; wherefore

there is no longer a nobility, no longer a privileged

class, no longer an Established Church; all men are

become exactly equal; they are upon one common

level, and religion is free.

A Republic is hereby

proclaimed, as being the natural estate of a nation

when other authority has ceased. It is the duty of

the British people to meet together immediately,

and by their votes elect representatives and deliver

into their hands the government.”
