Reasons for not giving to Members of the legislative body the exclusive faculty
of giving in original draughts in this extraordinary case as in
all ordinary II. Members unapt cases has been hitherto everywhere
the practice.

But, it may be noticed, why not to the Constituted service leave to the legislative body
and to that them alone, the function of preparing the original
draught, as well as that of applying amendments to it,
and finally, according to the nature of the constitution exercising
the power or sanctions in the power, of sanctioning it?

I answer for two reasons: 1. Reason 1. They have no time applicable to it.

. The composition of an all com a body of law,
which is to be at the same time all-comprehensive, and by
that on every point, by means of perpetually interwoven rationale rationalized and explained
in presents of itself fully adequate an irresistible demand for the whole
quantity of working applicable time at the disposal of every whatsoever individual
may be engaged by in it: if so, then, in the case of a man may
every individual been possessing any portion share in the
aggregate of legislative power, if any part of his time be employed upon the work, the consequence is – that either the ordinary function
called, or liable to be called, continually into exercise by the exigencies of the day,
or this else this extraordinary function, or both the one and the
other, will of necessity be neglected.

body, from as to the function of drawing up any such draught. It It

other portion other than that which by the engagement stands

not to the exclusion of any draught already prepared by
any Member at antecedently to the time at day on which the
general proposed all comprehensive resolution is go promulgated shall have been resolved upon: it applies
not to any portion of time subsequent to that during which his
exercise of those same ordinary functions is contained: it throws is therefore
no bar to his entering immediately upon after that such resolution, upon the
task of drawi penning
such a draught, of an

his seat.
