Note (a)
(a) These observations, in proof of the necessity of simpleness
to effectual responsibility, will be found to apply not merely
to the transcendental but temporary office here in question,
but to all offices in general.
If so, does it not then pass condemnation on all
representative bodies? of on all such bodies, from the lowest
to the very highest? Answer. Yes, so it would were it not
for those documents by which the conduct of such thus far
taken separately is made known: namely his speech
if he speaks, and at any rate his vote. These instruments
of and thence of responsibility are commonly employed to a certain degree.
Note that, to a hasty view, as to one point plurality in office is compared namely if he and they all might might be universally employed and are as in this nature capable of being much greater degree much greater degree, namely if in the design in question every Member was not only bound to be present, but, with or without a division called for, bound to give his vote,
with with simpleness, may upon a hasty view, be though to herewith advantage, namely as
to security against concealment: since in a
Board, proceedings are almost of course registered and
in case of materiation each concurring Member lies
at the of all the any others every other to whom whether opposing or concurring or opposing the question preceding operation or instrument in question is known. But to secure
publicity, coordination of authority is not necessary: to the among
of colleagues as such, for the security against undue concealment, nothing
more has lace, than the physical mere faculty of affording
information, and that in the bulk of ordinarily preponderant
interest: while on the other hand in the case of singleness
in any the event of materiation, subordinates, not on failure
of their giving information may be put upon the footing of
accomplices.
