1823. Sept. 10.
Constitutional Code

or 1.
To Judge of the effect
of the power of Juries,
consider
1. The nature and amplitude
of that power.
2. Their aptitude or inaptitude
for the exercising of it.
3. Their inaptitude established,
has it been of
use?
4. If yes, what have been
the causes of this usefulness?

or 2.
Answer.
1. Effects produced by the
introduction of this body
independent of aptitude
or inaptitude of it's members.

it's end, the diminution
of the happiness of the
greatest number, would
be partial good, would
be unmixt evil in one
which has for it's end,
the maximization of
do. happiness. It has no
need of being at any
such expence for purchasing
the accomplishment
of it's object.
