1824. March 13
Constitutional CodeCh. XXIII Sub Legislatures

Such being the advantage of simplicity, the
practical conclusion seems to be this. Proceed in the
first instance on the supposition of a simple form: the population
of the whole country in its present and future state
joining in the formation of a government the same in all points
for the whole extent of the territory the same in all points.
Only as a measure of necessity render it as to any point federative – in other words, concede
to the inhabitants any portion of the territory a state of independence as to
any points – only as a measure of necessity, and in proportion
to that necessity: that it is to say only in case they
can they give an absolute refusal to join with the rest
on any other terms: and in that case the fewer and narrower
the spots of independence the better.

At any rate abhorred be the thought of employing
force of arms or measures to produce the of an in any
instance. Take for a warning the tyranny of the Athenians
over their allies, as displayed in the conference between
them and the Melians in the report given by Thucydides.
Union or separation without protection being the only alternative the idea of which is endurable is the harshest inducement in favor of which anything
can be said.
