    In a despotic Monarchy, otherwise called a pure Monarchy, all rulers who are under the Monarch - that is to say all besides himself /others/ by whom any of the functions of Government are exercised or more shortly all his servants are trustees for him: what they hold of power they hold in trust for him, as we phrase it.
