1. Reason 2. By the competition thus proposed a bridle
will be applied to the power of the constituted authorities:
a bridle, and that an unexceptionable and indispensable one.

The need of this bridle is produced by has for its cause the force of
sinister interest: that particular interest, by which in every situation
and more particularly in the a situation to which political
power is attached every human being is prompted

in case of competition, and to the extent of the competition, every individual
is prompted, to make sacrifice of the happiness of all besides to his own
individual happiness: in every situation
every individual promoted
and in every political
situation, in proportion
to the power and influence
attached to that situation
enabled; to make this
sacrifice: at say
such sacrifice may according be
termed
the sinister sacrifice.

Behold now what this bridle is, and in what manner how it is that by the unlimited
number of original draughts let in by the proposed open mode,
it is applied. By the supposition, each draught comes provided with its rationale, But and true it is that, as above mentioned, by that
same rationale as abovementioned, a bridle is applied, or that an inefficient
one to the hand by which the draught will have been penned mouth of the by whose hands author of that same draught. Small however will be the utmost force tutelary force of that one
bridle, compared of with that of the which may be applied
by the aggregate of the one all the rationalized several draughts
with their respective rationales, to which, in a number
altogether indefinite, it is the object of the here proposed
arrangement to give birth. The bridle, which, in this shape,
each man makes for its his own mouth, will naturally of course
be as small light and soft as he can contrive to make it.
it seem sufficiently manifest
Let anyone judge how inadequate the check applied the force of this one
check, and that applied
by so partial a hand, must cannot but be, when compared with the
united check form of all those instruments
of salutary controul
which in an indefeasible
number may come
to be applied by it
many different
hands, all of them preserved,
all of them, by
the very nature of the case,
from of which may all partiality in
of salutary controul
his favour: instruments
which that may to
be applied by so many
different hands, all
of them by the
very nature of the case,
from all

which though

not made, any of them,
for his mouth in particular,
will not be
the less effective.

So not the whole number of those instruments which that man
by hands partiality in his favour: instruments so many important hands: bridles which though
not any of them, instruments of – instruments which the made for the
though not for his Preamble in particular with which the loss
of the that with naturally
enters this importance of the several rationales

by

which in relation

to each portion of the vast application is inadequate the greatest
happiness principle is applied with the happiest effect

of its efficiency
