1822 Aug. 12
Constitut. Code

In the eyes of every impartial arbiter, acting working in the character
of legislator, and having the exactly the same regard for every
man the happiness of every member of the community in question
as for that of every other, the greatest happiness of the greatest
number of the members of that same community can not but
regarded in quality the character of the proper right and proper, and
sole right and proper end of government and so is my object
of pursuit.

Opposition to For the disjunction of the opposite or
reverse of what is right and proper, the term adjunct sinister may
by reason in consideration of the sentient relation borne by to each other by the two phy
terms taken in the original physical sense be expressed.

Accordingly, in so far as between the happiness of the
greatest number and the happiness of any lesser number
every competition and incompatibility has place, if the hap
greatest happiness of the greatest number be taken for the only
right and proper end of government, the happiness of any
lesser number coming into competition and being incomptab
incompatible with the happiness of the greatest number, may
be stated a sinister end of government: end, or say object
of pursuit.
