Question. Why not give to the State-Chief, possessor of the
Supreme Executive power under the Supreme Legislative
the Supreme Legislative power, thus placing the
whole Operative power of the Country in that one hand.

Answer. Because in that case the
inaptitude opposite to appropriate aptitude in all its
several branches would be is at its maximum.

1. The inaptitude opposite to appropriate moral aptitude
is in this case state of things at its maximum. In consequence pursuance
of the self preference inherent in human nature, the end
of his government will be that which to have the greatest
possible happiness of his individual self. This object he
according to whatever happens to be his instance of it he will pursue without regard to the happiness of the greatest
number, at the expence of that happiness, and in the
sacrifice of that happiness. His sinister interest having
no right and proper interest to serve as a check to
it, the force of his power having no counterforce to
check it and keep the action of it in a state of conformity
to the public interest, his desires to ready make
on all occasions the sinister sacrifice, will have nothing find no
power in a condition to to oppose it, will on every occasion find ample
means for the gratification of it and the sacrifice will
at all times under his government be consummate.

He All around him being below him de He will accommodate under his own grasp all the external
of instruments of felicity, all the objects of general desire with
greatest quantity possible: all at the expence of and by the sacrifice
of the felicity of the other members of the community.

All around him being below him, dependent every one all
of them on his pleasure for whatsoever portion of felicity they
are suffered to enjoy, he find in none of them any desire
to oppose his will in any of the above particulars, in all of them
the disposition and the endeavour to give accomplishment to it.
