Of these all-comprehensive enormities Of this all comprehensive mass of wickedness and profligacy it is only the sovereign
[alone] that can be the actual and principal perpetrator. But
the part function of instigator, of would-be accessory before the fact
is a part which in the condition situation of subject it is open to any man
to act operate: in the situation for example of Cabinet Official Counsellor
of Members of a Representative body Popular Assembly — Members of a free
and unofficial association — or to speak of that which
though last mentioned is not least — viz. that of conductor
of a political public newspaper.

That the quantity of these ideal possessions which in the
situation of sovereign it is will be in a man's power to possess
will be is in proportion to the quantity of power, in the international
and in the national and in the international sense which he possesses — the power which
he and his people subjects possess with reference to the people rulers and subjects of other
nations, and the power which he possesses with reference to
and at the expence of his own subjects is manifest enough.
But according to the notions respectively attached to those
names, the desire of honour national honour, national glory, national dig fame, national
renown national dignity can not be carried to
excess: therefore neither can the desire of the respective means of acquiring the sole and necessary means by which a man can
acquire
these same invaluable possessions be carried to excess: the respective the desire and pursuit
means viz. foreign conquest, usurpation foreign and domestic, murder
rape depredation and destruction committed abroad in the committed
at home committed every where, the desire and habit of endeavour to committ
or cause to be committed all those acts which when
committed by unofficial hands are spoken of and
dealt with punished in the character of crimes, therefore neither can
criminality in any shape be carried to excess.
