§. 8. The greatest happiness of the greatest number requires
that, aptitude in other respects equal not being inferior,
the hand be that of a foreigner rather than that of a native.

On this occasion it will be necessary to bear in mind a
the two of distinction in common use: namely that
between the two branches into which legislative power in its nature is capable
of being divided, and moreover in use to be divided in practice – the
initiative and the consummative.

By any In the hands by which the initiative function is possessed exercised,
it may be exclusively possessed inexclusively possessed exercised or inexclusively. Inexclusively
exercised it has no power attached to it: exclusively it
not only has attached to it a power, but a power greater
than the consummative: for by the exercise of it a negative may be put
upon every power that can be exercised by the hands that have those who have
in their hands no other power than the consummative.

The consummative power can not be exercised without
previous discussion: that namely whatsoever previous discussion has place on the
occasion of the exercise given to the initiator. By The initiative
when exclusive all discussion may be prevented:
all discussion in whatever part of the field of legislation it
shall please to maintain silence. On its part nothing
more than inaction sleep is requisite to put on and to all legislation whatsoever.

Where in As to the initiative function when not exclusively
exercised, no power is attached to it. The exercise of it a
to render service rendered is endeavoured to be rendered by
one who has no is without power.
