The excerpt contrasts ancient democracies, that were characterized by tyranny and run by mobs, to the idea of a large government representation so as to demostrate that whenevever a group of people is assembled, no matter who is in it, they tend to make the wrong decisions, that is, decisions led by passion instead of reason as stated in the excerpt:
"<em>passion never fails to wrest the sceptre from reason".</em>
