Polit. Deontology

Common and governed subjects – persons essentially subject – proportion
between them and governors.

Ch. 1. Government what – its ends, general and actual and desirable –
its means general means.
§. 1

Government has had place in so far as the conduct of one or more
being is has been in the habit of being or the disposition to be determined
by the will of another one or more other.

Two persons are accordingly necessary and all that are necessary to the existence
of a government: but in it may any greater number may be
comprehended.

Suppose two persons the one constantly governing the other constantly
governed: on the part of one part power so long as the government
continues power viz. including imperative power is exercised,
on the other part obsequiousness is exemplified.
☞ Add Natural Governments. Man over Wife. Adults over infants.

Where If without any limitation the whole number
of individuals in the community in question have always at all as are subject
having during a certain period been at all times and in all cases subject to
the power of one single person, then the government is
partly arbitrary and despotic and nothing wh to which
the name of a constitution can be applied with propriety has
place.

But in so far as to the power of one there exists
any limitation in so far as that same community a constitution
has place.

☞ Go on to Shew how the habit of obsequiousness is susceptible of useless
modification – their power, if a Constitution of modifications.
