Polit. Deontology
Power being an ingredient happiness
In the room of that difficulty pursued, and still
more difficulty explained expendable and explainable explicable, although proper, exclusively and incontestably proper and including all its several ramifications,
set up any one of the above mentioned phrases words
spurious ends – each of them composed of no more than
some vague and aerial phrase, you save yourself
at the same time a world of restraint and constraint
and at the same time a world of trouble.
1. Power being an ingredient in happiness – power
being to every person to whom it is in prospect an
object of desire, of the greatest happiness of the greatest
number to were your real an object really pursued by
you, you would either give to the subject many
some power which they do not possess, or shew that
it would not be for their interest to have possess it,
i.e. that by in the want of them possessing it, the net amount sum of their happiness
could not be so great, as it is now – now
than do not possess it.
Thus as to the constitutional branch of law.
☞ Then exemplify in general terms how it would be in the
several branches of the comparative branch of law.
