I do not say that democracy has been more pernicious on the whole, and in the long run, than monarchy or aristocracy. Democracy has never been and never can be so durable as aristocracy or monarchy; but while it lasts, it is more bloody than either.

What are the legal obligations of a new homeowner if the previous owner leaves furniture in the house after moving out?
