1822. Feb 15. Codification universal. 1.5 admission universal.

Luen ni.

Objection 5. The open mode ineffectual to its propo—
sed purpose. Be the draughts ever so numerous, the con—
situted authorities will still do with them as they please.
of each draught they will make more or less use, or no
use at all, as best suits their respected purpose them: by the supposition, no more
on this occasion than on any other, are they subject to any
legal control.

Answer. True: not to any controul other than that
moral controul which us appeared by the tribunal of
public opinion. But this controul it is the design, and
will be the effect of the proposed open mode, to apply in
the most efficient manner: and be it or be it not suf—
ficient, the situation of the authorities in question puts an
exclusion upon every other. In what way, in the instance
of every rationalized code, the rationale interwoven with it
will operate in the character of a bridle, has been shown
above: (see sections 2 and 3.): as also upon whom it thus
operates. In every penned draught, the constituted
authorities, whose decision it calls for, will see and feel
a bridle: a bridle by which they will be restrained
from treating it with neglect: a bridle the power of which
will be in proportion to its aptitude. Even in the text itself,
were that all, their power would feel a muffle snaffle: and to this
muffle snaffle a curb is added by the rationale. Take the ease of
the representatives of the people. By and by came come the
elections; and then came come questions as to them.
Here is this draught (naming it): in it were ask these
goof things (naming them): all neglected: and you
willcan you let it pass without voting against it. What have
you yo say for yourself?
