Official text rightpowerlimitif conditionlegal term
No man, nor corporation, or association of men, have any other title to obtain advantages, or particular and exclusive privileges, distinct from those of the community, than what arises from the consideration of services rendered to the public; and this title being in nature neither hereditary, nor transmissible to children, or descendants, or relations by blood, the idea of a man born a magistrate, lawgiver, or judge, is absurd and unnatural.
Simplified explanation
No man, corporation or association has any title to advantages or exclusive privileges apart from the community except from services rendered to the public. That title is not hereditary, so a man born a magistrate, lawgiver or judge is absurd and unnatural.
