From what has been said, the following conclusions
may it is supposed be drawn.
1. The Civil Code forms is but a sort of Appendix to the Penal Code.
In the Penal Code will naturally be found contained the principal
portion of the matter common to both.
3. Of By the Penal Code, if appositely aptly put together will the whole
contents will be found with little or no exception applicable
with equal propriety and advantage to the circumstances of
any political state – and as well as another.
4. In the Constitutional Code and the Civil Code will be found
the matters those portions of the matters which are different in different political States.
5. Scarcely if at all, can any proper and determinate and
proper line of demarcation be drawn between the matter proper for insertion
in the penal and not in to the exclusion of the civil, nor the matter proper for insertion
in the civil to the exclusion of the penal.
6. By the legislature of divers political States, different distributions
may be made of the aggregate number two matters of the two Codes taken
in the aggregate – made be made without imputation of wrong
judgment in the instance of any one of them.
7. The connection between the matters of the two Codes being thus
intimate, the indication here given with relation to what belongs to the Penal
part may suffice for the whole together without the addition of any
ulterior matter of detail applying belonging exclusively to the part or say
Civil part.
8. As to Oaths, of the General Penal Code the proper bulk will be made
the same in every political State: while that of the Constitutional and Civil Codes, in a
dating the collection of Particular Codes will be in an indefinite degree
be different as between different political States.
9. In the a pure Representative Democracy for example, the possession of
and succession to the sovereign power affords number of itself matter for a Code
of considerable bulk: while a pure Monarchy the whole matter is the result
of one conjugal embrace between two individuals.
