Constitutional ProcedureCodeCh. 1. Territory, Name &c
§. 1.
Instructions

Only, as above observed, simplicity of conception, has the
same divisor to wit 20, been assumed, from on the custom of every
stage or grade brought to view. In practice, the diversities of incident, the magnitude of territory,
and population considered, together with the ever variable changes of
magnitude of population at different times in each territory, considered
whatsoever be the State in question, divisors of very different
magnitude, will be in the several grades or stages compared
with one another will be found requisite: and, by means of all those
diversities taken together the same number of stages or
grades will be found applicable to different States possessing portions the aggregate of
of which are of the most of widely differing magnitudes.

Th What is plain is – that to no State whatsoever were application be made
of the Code, without its finding such State already subjected
to some all comprehensive scheme or other of territorial division, as above
explained. But by no such existing scheme will any naturally inseparable
impediment be opposed to the scheme here proposed;
in so far as by the adoption of it any specific and assignable advantageous
effects may appear to be promised. By separation
or aggregation, or a mixture of both both together the existing territorial portions of
territorial divisions, whatsoever they may be, and how so ever denominated may be made applicable
to the all the several purposes which will here be seen expressed; and made proposed: divisions
and thus be made the seats of functionaries, respectively invested with the functions
herein respectively defined.

As to the herein given to the results of the several
successive divisional operations, some conception of the peculiar use of them
can scarcely fail to have been already found. By presented itself to view. For thus it is, that
the order, of which the numeration table is gives the expression may be given
to any exis scheme of division established or proposed, which otherwise
by the total want of all indication of the relation between one elementary
part and another or in other words in a word, by the perfect arbitrariness of the
import of every denomination
employed the imposes on so
heavily and needlessly on
the conception and manner
of every person to whose cognizance
they it comes to be presented.
