17. By /Under/ the system of universal suffrage, taken without any limitation, the persons in whose hands the powers in question would be lodged would be /are/ all the numbers of the community in question, whatsoever without any exception: persons of the female sex and non-adults, even those but just born /new-born infants/ not excepted.

V.4

18 Under the system of virtually universal suffrage, the persons in whose hands the power in question would be lodged are all those /such/ persons the aggregate interest of whom is regarded as not being in so far short of being co-extensive with the aggregate interest of the whole community as that in the situation in question in respect of such difference of interest, their conduct is in danger of being on any occasion adverse to that same aggregate interest.
