Who said the following?

______A democracy is a state where the freemen and the poor, being in the majority, are invested with the power of the state ... The most pure democracy is that which is so called principality from that equality which prevails in it; for this is what the law in that state directs; that the poor shall be in no greater subjection than the rich, nor that the supreme power shall be lodged in either of these, but that both shall share it. For if liberty and equality, as some persons suppose, are chiefly to be found in a democracy, it must be so by every department of government being alike open to all; but as the people are the majority; and what they vote is law, it follows that such a state must be a democracy.
