1823. August 25
Constitutional Code

Under the system of Constitutional law here proposed,
no such demand for misdecision and anarchy can
have place. From testimony to the suggestions of To no
temptation at enmity with duty with the probity of Judges a Judge
be ever exposed. No person is there who By the hands
of the people they he may at any time be displaced: by the hands
of men treated by the people he may be even be punished.
No hand is there in In no part of the official
establishment is there can any hand be seen, by which a mass of
benefit equivalent with equiponderant capable of outweighing the abovementioned danger
can could be conferred. By no official hand can evil in any
shape be wrought in secrecy. The text of the penal branch
of law will be from the hands of those by whose who sit whose
situation will be under a Constitutional Code framed on those principles will
the penal code receive its spirit and its text Into the
precasts of that Code the only mode of punishment by which
if misapplied injury absolutely irreparable can be inflicted
will on some apply for scale embrace. Only for by secret conspiracy
can so much as a pretence for punishment beyond what that which
under another name the name of self-defence is inflicted on foreign be afforded: but and by the legal legalized liberty for men to meet
at all times with arms in their hands in any number
all secret conspiracy is will be cut up by the roots: that which
all men may do openly in the face of all men no men can
conspire to do in secret: as in for no such concealment practice can
any motive can in any shape ever be found. In England under the existing system
every Judge has an interest opposite to that of the people: and
above his own be a Judge to whom any whose need under the here proposed
system no Judge has any other interest but that what coincides with forms a portion of
that of the people. No interest has By no interest can he be led
to wish to inflict punishment punishment on any man whom it would not be
alike the interest and the wish of a Jury to be punished. By
the pe transferring therefore from those intellectually incompetent into less apt to those
on all points most apt
hands noo danger
capable of being set
against the evil on the
other side will be produced.
