Political Deontology

§. Of political power

In the case of an individual It is only in so far as he a man an individual possesses correspondent
appropriate and adequate power, that a conception howsoever adequate of
his interest can be promotive of his happiness
in so far as depends upon his own conduct.

In like manner it is only in the case of a whole
community people it is only in so far as correspondent
appropriate and adequate power is either in their
own hands or in the hands of some persons who
by some causes or other are disposed to employ it
to the advancement of their own viz. the people's interest
that either on the part of any one a conception
howsoever adequate by in relation to the aggregate interest of the people
can be of promotive of their that same interest.

Exercised by themselves when and themselves alone
the men and considered as existing in the same proposition
in the hands of every individual of whom a people
is composed, power the maximum of conceivable
power is synonymous to the absence of all government,
or in one word to anarchy.
