Constitut. Code
1. To those whose interest imposes the universal interest
give or leave as much power as possible.
2. To those whose interest is not the universal interest but
in its very nature adverse to the universal interest give as
little power as possible.
Keep on foot, in the character of a power proposed as
occasion calls, a power superior to their own, the power of
those whose interest is the universal interest, ready to in
act readiness to act upon those in the character of Judges
and punish them with despair and loss of office in the
character of their legislators.
When these things are accomplished all they are accomplished
by which anything can be done towards rendering
the keeping the interest of the possessor of supreme operative
power in accordance with the universal interest: that is to
say if the word duty be worth employing in accordance
with their duty.
