true
all counties where the same circumstances exist must have the same form of government
so that a law for one class can reasonably be
expected to work equally well for every member of the
class ; while, if it works ill, it is almost certain to do so in
every case, and that for some cause which lies deeper than
the mere fact that the law is general. The number of
places necessarily affected by a law prevents, moreover, the
enactment of laws designed in the interest of one place
only. If such a law be against the interest of the other
communities affected by it, they will oppose its passage, and
thus the unfair grant of special privileges will be prevented
