Constitutional Code
6. Locator – the individual by whom the choice of those sup
pretended and too extensively supposed apt Judges, is determined, – an
individual who, in no one of that class of cases, in comparison
of which all others, direct into , can with any on any
ground colour of reason be regarded as otherwise in leagues with
and in in the hand of one of the parties: that can an individual at whose part may
the opposite all opposing parties lie, that party with from altogether
irresistible power and at every occasion actuated by an
interest at terrible in the extreme with that of the great body of the people.
7. Thus In respect of this extent its extent over the sum of causes field of law,
taken in the aggregate, as also in the instance over the field occupied by the several causes

scatter not to say nineteen twentieths of the people
the effect of it is an utter denial of all justice: a up
of the helpless to the yoke of the oppressor to the yoke of the
and domestic particular tyrant still more than
the great and universal tyrant and oppressor: a yoke which would
be absolutely intolerable and destructive of all society and all populations
were it not for the power and and preventive power
of the Public Opinion
Tribunal that power
which it is the
of which in the shape
of the most uneasy
and indefatigable endeavour
of those in whose
hands is the power of an a hostile government and corresponding an accordant system of laws
