        !            11:    The United Netherlands are a confederacy of republics,

        !            19:    The sovereignty of the union is represented by the

        !            26: armies and equip fleets; to ascertain quotas and
        !            27: demand contributions.  In all these cases, however, unanimity

        !            42: weight and influence in the republic are derived from his
        !            43: independent title; from his great patrimonial estates;
        !            44: from his family connections with some of the chief
        !            45: potentates of Europe; and, more that all, perhaps, from his
