Tuhia he tomokanga mo tenei whitianga - I mihi a Fox ki te French Revolution o 1789, i whakamaorihia hei whakaata i muri mai i te Continental o te Glorious Revolution o Ingarangi o 1688. Hei whakautu ki te whakaekenga o te Bastille
I te 14 o Hōngongoi, i kī rongonui ia, "He aha te nui rawa o te kaupapa i puta i te ao! a he aha te pai!" I te Paenga-whāwhā o te tau 1791, ka mea a Fox ki te Whare Commons e "whakaaro ana ia ki te kaupapa ture hou o Wīwī, i whakaarohia, ko te mea tino whakamiharo me te kororia o te herekore, i whakaarahia ki runga i te turanga o te tapatahi o te tangata i tetahi wa, whenua ranei". Na reira i miharo ia ki te urupare o tana hoa tawhito a Whig, Edmund Burke, ki nga kaupapa whakaharahara i tawahi o te Channel. I roto i tana "Reflections on the Revolution in France", i whakatupato a Burke ko te hurihanga he tutu tutu ki te tikanga me te mana tika, i akiakihia e Utopian, nga whakaaro tuuturu kua motuhia mai i te pono, ka arahi ki te koretake me te mana rangatira. I panui a Fox i te pukapuka ka kitea he "tino kino" me te "whakaaro i nga kaupapa Tory", engari i karo i te akiaki i te take mo te wa poto ki te pupuri i tana hononga ki a Burke. Ko nga Whigs tino kaha, penei i a Sheridan, i wehe atu i a Burke i tenei waa.
