At the risk of repeating myself let me now pose this question: What is the voter expressing when he drops his ballot paper into the box?
By such an act, elector is telling candidate: I give you my freedom, unrestrictedly and unreservedly; I place at your disposal and abandon to your discretion my intellect, means of action, possessions, revenues, activity and entire fortune; I surrender to you my rights of sovereignty. Similarly and by extension, I also surrender to you the rights and sovereignty of my offspring, relatives and fellow-citizens — active and passive alike. All of this I surrender to you so that you may use them as you see fit. My only assurance is your whim.
