 Commons cannot make laws, they can only pas reolutions, which, like all reolutions, are of force only to thoe that make them, and to thoe only while they are willing to oberve them.

vote of the Houe of Commons has therefore only o far the force of a law, as that force is neceary to preerve the vote from loing its efficacy, it mut begin by operating upon themelves, and extends its influence to others, only by conferences ariing from the firt intention. He that tarts game on his own manor, may purue it into another.

can properly make laws only for themelves: a member, while he keeps his eat, is ubject to thee laws; but when he is expelled, the juridiction ceaes, for he is now no longer within their dominion.
