1824. March 13
Constitutional Code for GreeceCh. XXIII Sub Legislatures
§. Observations Federative System

In case of modification, one of the parts might perhaps
be in the Administrative department, giving the
location of the Sub Minister of this or that department not
to the Prime Minister but to the Sub Legislature of the District,
especially if that declared be an island or a of
nearly adjacent islands.

This province however should not extend
to the Judiciary Department to of the magnitude of in respect of . The advantage resulting from
the state of the Judge in respect of family and
other intimate connection, few it is hoped are the persons
who will not be fully sensible. At the time when In the
ages called the middle ages when Italy was in great part
divided into little republics it was a part of and widely adopted
to chose for the head of the judiciary a person
who was a foreigner and a stranger with reference to the republic
for in which he was chosen to serve.

In the -Districts, and in particular in those composed
of islands it the term Local Legislature might perhaps be more agreeable to the
than the a term corresponding to Sub Legislatures.

A minor difficulty would probably be that which regards
taxation. On the In relation to this subject the option seen
to lie between no more than two sorts of arrangements. Fixing
the quota that each District or of them shall
contribute, and then as to the mode of contribution. The
subject matter of taxation having the fixation to people therefore the inhabitants
the other is – the locating by the General Legislative functionary
for collecting the amount in the several Districts, the amount
being settled by a general tax applying to all the several members
without distinction.

The first mode is that which to takes the difficulty
points itself in being at the highest pitch: for when
the fixation comes to be made, each would regard its quota
as too high, and thus it is that whatever were the most
equitable system of proportion, the probability is – that it would
find itself refuted by a majority of the Assembly whatsoever
of it, if it were a freer one.
