1823 Sept. 9.

Constitutional Code

(2)

Quasi Jury
Explanaty Observation
Jurors their relative
inaptitude

or 3
While defending
the people against
external adversaries
and resistible internal
ones, rulers themselves
irresistible
rendered themselves
still more mischievous
adversaries: namely
by laws belonging to
the constitutional branch
and thence by laws
belonging to the penal
branches

Such is the original nature of the government that while
occupied in defending probation their own persons and properties and thence
of necessity in some sort then of the subject money against depredation and
oppression at the hands if insulated and unauthorized and irresistible malefactors
adversaries upon a small scale the ruling such ruling few under the command
of the ruling one have at all gone on in a touch course<add>course</add> having
for its end the end of it the ment object and conclusion and within a letter for its effect the recovery to its maximum the
the pt quantity of depredation and oppression in all other
shapes exercised by their confederated self-authorized, and irresistible
adversaries.

In concurrence with other circumstances belonging to the
machinery texture of the government. The powers, given to the or rather
left in the hands of the Jury Juries, have actually been as they
naturally would be in such mannermanner exercised, as
note the whole for in conjunction with other circumstances
belonging to it, to have informed inform into the whole frame and texture
of it a considerable degree of weakness in comparison the strength of that
possessed by government in other countries. Among the effects of
this weakness have has been, to no ma a degree, a failure of execution and effect in
the instances of those laws which have for their object the
protection of the persons and proportion of individuals against
the insulated, unauthorised and resistible
and shewn actually resisted adversaries. But why with
this bad effect has been that of producing a later or even still greater want of
execution and effect to those laws which have had for
their object the giving increase to the power of these
same self ever confederated self authorized, by men from, and irresistible
adversaries and thus to the quantity of the depredation
and oppression certainly exercised by them. So much greater if But the quantity
of mischief which is these shapes those same major adversaries
would but for the insulation have been done than the greatest quantity
which by the insulated unauthorized and always resistible adversaries
could otherwise have done, that by the good done by the evicting
of the one class of lives much more evil has been ed matter words much more
good consequently has been done than has been done of evil by the faculty afforded to the and comparative success that has thus been afforded on the minor adversaries.

or 4
Mischief from
the resistible adversaries
migh was in part
diminished by those
irresistible ones, and in
part by the original
power of resistance.
Mischief For
For diminution of
the mischief from the
irresistible adversaries
the despotic power of
Juries afforded the
sole resource

or 5
While affording
this resource by this
despotism they creative
the security against
the resistible adversaries:
but the security
they then afford against
adversaries boundless mischief
from the irresistible
adversaries more than compensates|
