J.B. to France against Peers
Letter II against Peers
98.
1. Rulers 2/3 hostile to Ruled
Thus the people governed by
three powers: the interests
of two opposed to
theirs: the remaining one
more or less according to
its constitution – if located
by the people its interests
conformable to theirs –
if independent, not so –
Wherever there is a King
(who appoints to office) they
are opposed to people.
99.
2. Locator's Interest Sinister Locators essentially corruptible
Old All desire office –
proportioned to that desire
is the inducement to act
according to King's will,
in preference to people's.
King maximizes remuneration.
100
3. Essentially corruptible
People's agents' interest
that remuneration
should be maximized
thus people's interests
sacrificed to dominating
powers.
101
4. Dislocation by Office, no Security
Expedient for non-exposure
of representatives
to the seduction of
office – is to render a seat
incompatible with
best offices; but this,
illusive – Good if they
had not connections.

1. J.B. to La Fayette.
Here, Lafayette, your
commands objected –
Never thought I could
ever say "my beloved
King". Set apt men
to correct my errors.
Let them write of me
in any terms.
+ 103.
1. Orleans will democratic.
Louis Philip will
lead the Constitution

Democracy.

1. One Prime Minister only Body now bad for depredation
A King or President &c
necessary – body other
than deputies mischievous.
+ 105.
2. Non , none but by Popular location
A representative
may have interest
coincident with
people's.
106
3. Trustees, all Sacrifice Benefitees.
Deputy a trustee –
but in great proportion of cases the
interest of intended
benefitee sacrificed
to trustee's: illustration,
Charity Commission.
According to
number of persons
is the affection for
them. Fénélan preferred
country to family &c.
