Rid Yourselves
§. Mode of riddance Relinquishment mode 1. in Cortes
Money Evil Foreigners in Cortes
Was (Apr. 1822) now
1.
Objection. By emancipation,
Constitution would be
maimed. Answer. Not
maimed, but purified:
corrupt part discharged:
uncorrupt cleared of it.
2.
At such a distance, representation
(shewn above
§.3. Appeal?) can not be
genuine. Under freedom,
union is not possible: only
by despotism could elements,
so discordant, be
kept together. Slaves, you
may keep your kinsmen
slaves: free, you must
see them free.
3.
Objector. Constitution's
whole texture would be
to be changed. In Cortes,
Creolians Deputation excluded,
either the number of
the deputies would not
be half what was intended,
or a new division of
districts would be to be
made.
4.
In Council, out of the
40, 12 Creoles being excluded,
Art. 232, 28 alone would
remain: if filled up, the
gap must be filled up
(233, 234) by King; out of
thrice the number
presented by Cortes.
5.
2. In permanent Cortes
Committee of the seven
Members, three alone wd.
remain: not only the 3
Creolian, but the odd member,
will be excluded:
so the odd member (who
is to be chosen by all the )
unless chosen by the remaining
three.
So the Members of reserve.
6.
Answer. In none of these
changes either difficulty,
or inconvenience or danger.
1. Without addition, subtraction
is performed by a negative
act.

§ Mode of riddance – 1. in Cortes Relinquishment Mode.
Evil Foreigners in Cortes &c
7.
Time enough to fill up the
deficiency, should tangible
inconvenience from it be
experienced, or, by anticipation,
indicated.
8.
Per Constitution, for managing
the affairs of Spain, the
number of Members allotted
to Spain, suffices.
Proportion, to electors, one
to 70,000 (Art. 31.) suffices.
9.
from the omission of all
those whose interests are irreconcileably
opposite, except
as to the separation,
where is the inconvenience?
10.
Instead of managing affairs
to which they are strangers,
Creole deputies would be sent
back with honor to manage
the affairs of those whose
choice they had been the objects
(2d Sept. No choice yet
