This use of the rationale in the character of a standard of
comparison and a list of aptitude has above been brought to view.

The draughts supposed to be sent in will each of them
by the supposition be each of them furnished with its interwoven
rationale. By that rationale the aptitude of each
proposed arrangement its aptitude with reference to the greatest
happiness of the greatest number will stand demonstrated.
But in proportion as of the aptitude of this or that
proposed arrangement stands the demonstration thus given
is conclusive and satisfactory, the inaptitude of every proposed arrangement
preferable and even of every imaginable arrangement that can should in repugnance to it will stand
demonstrated this then will be as many standards of
comparison So many ration draughts of rationalized codes sent in so many of those standards already set up, with any and every of
which every proposed arrangement that was to which it can happen
to be proposed by any hand bearing possessing a share
in the legislative power may be confronted and compared: and that in what
manner it is in the nature of a a rationalized Code
with its rationale to serve as a bridl not only as a
guide but and in that manner every such standard acts as a bridle to the all legislator power is a truth that has been shown
above, (See Section ) been already brought to view.

In this character it will be in the hands of subject
citizens in the character of constituents it will give addit
and to a vast amount additional and to a vast amount force to that which they
possess at present whatever it be which in the such their character they are already in possession
of. For at present on the occasion of the judgment
formed by them respectively what have they for their guidance?
absolutely nothing but such crude such indeterminate, incorrect,
and incomplete and imperfectly consistent conception in relation to the several
departments of the field of legislation and government as chance
has given rise to in their minds, with the additional of the naked
opinion of such any person as they may have respectively been
disposed and able to cons take advice from: where corruption
will in like manner have had an origin always sinister in its nature
it not always less exposed to pregnant with error in its degree; and in
every part of the field the judgment of both parties consulters and adviser will
without any preservation any instrument of security stand exposed to the
sinister offence influence
and delusion of all
those fallacies
with which the whole
of that field is infested.
