BLACKS. Classific. Tenures (8)

It is a common-place beaten topic, to speak and recommendation
the simplicity of the Turkish Laws.
Some speak of it with complacency. They
pull our Lawyers by by the slave, point to the
Turkish Code, and make bid them take notice observe how
light it is. of its . The Lawyer in answer points
to the chain's those people wear. What he endeavours
aims at is to make it that it should be thought, tho' he
dares not openly hazard the assertion avow or express it, is that throughout
the Code, the Liberty of the subject as the quantity
of Ideas the Laws express, and that as the quantity of the words
or at least as the quantity of ideas the Laws contain.

Is liberty as the number of
commands & certainly not is
Is liberty in proportion
to the conditions and limitations
to that command, &
it is, with respect to such
commands as give powers
(public powers) to persons
over persons. We will
respect to such as give
power to persons over
things. The more conditions
the more fetters
the less Liberty.

Confused invective [has been argued from time to
time and] has been answer'd by apology as confused.
Here rests the controversy. A controversy
evidently indeterminable in the manner
it has been carried on: but which may easily
be determined, as soon as the requesite distinctions
have been made.

Mean time the Lawyer triumphs, and affects a
contempt, which the solidity of his by no
means entitles him to assume. The right is more
on the side of his antagonist: only that he knows not
how to from make the most of it
