BLACKST: Classification 3

Inserenda
Right not Separable from Wrong

Right consists in the faculty of impetrating Punishment for some act done. which act is said to be an invasion of the right in question, and termed in one word a "wrong"
They go hand in hand, the one is neither exists nor is conceivable without the other.
. What the
right is can neither be explained nor conceived without conceiving & explaining what
that act is which is termed a wrong. Yet
our Author has made the Right, the subject
of one of this his four grand divisions; and
the wrongs of another.

The idea of Punishment is Pain. The idea
of pain is a simple idea. The idea of the any
of the several acts acts to which Punishment
being is annexed is easily resolvable into
its constituent simple ideas that compose it. That complex abstract idea
is determinate, of which the component simple
ideas are assignable. In this way and no
other are the component simple ideas included
under the abstract complex idea of the
word Right every where where assignable.

The production of Pain is a much simpler
& more interesting way of putting the transaction, than the inclusion
of a right. It is simpler because in this
way the simple ideas suggested by the view of the
act are more uniformly certainly called up. It is more
interesting, because it is only by producing pain
that the invasion of a right it becomes of any consequence.
