1823. March 25.

I. Enactive

Constitut. Code.

5

(1)

I acknowledge myself to be but an agent,
appointed by my constituents, for the managing of such
of their concerns as the nature of the case places them
under an incapacity of managing for themselves. I
arrogate not to myself any superiority over them, or any
of them, on that score.

(4)

Of the power and influence attached to my
situation never will I avail myself to any such personal
or sinister purpose as that of creating dependence,
or exacting on receiving homage. To avoid wounding
by haughtiness of demeanour the sensibility of such
of my fellow citizens whose business brings them into
communication with me, shall be my constant care.

(3)

Mindful, that by absentation, half the effect
of a vote on the wrong side is produced, I will not,
on any occasion, by plea of sickness, or other excuse,
seek to exempt myself from the obligation of attendance.

(2)

Except for avoidance of determinate and
clearly preponderant evil, never will I concurr
in withdrawing the proceedings of the assembly
from the vices and scrutiny of it's constitutional
superior — the supreme constitutive.
