1822 June 28
Constitut. Law

II. Inaptitude in attached to the situation of Monarch in a Mixt or say
Limited Monarchy the power having for its instrument of
limitation the power of a body acting as a Representative of
the people.

1. Inaptitude opposite to Moral aptitude.

Here the In this situation compared with the forementioned the causes of enmity are more
active: of resistance the appearances symptoms are continually obtruding
themselves in observation. Though on every occasion the
office is out of hazard on every occasion a contest with a
circumstance of irritation has place.

To moral inaptitude in that the shape of cruelty is necessity
in this situation necessarily added, immovables in the shape of insincerity
and deception. The Representative of the people is a shot
of corruption: the people themselves are in a state of delusion.
If the Representative of the people were not in this state of corruption, no such
Office as the Kingly Office could continue. If the people in a
vast proportion were not in a state of delusion no such Office as
or the Kingly Office could continue.

Of that portion of the mass of the external instruments of felicity which
otherwise might be and in the situation of absolute Monarch would be employed by him in the endeavours
how rare to come to make an ulterior addition to his own felicity
to parties more or less considerable must be employed in the
keeping in a state of perpetual corruption, and perpetual
subserviency to his sinister interest the representatives delegates, real or
pretended of the people, in securing on their part a constant breach
of such their trust. In those men the majority the people in as far as they see
clearly behold their enemies their determined and implacable enemies: subordinate
depredators who under the orders of concurr with the superior depredator,
and hope all things occupied with him in the event of exercise of depredation
at their charge. In the eyes of a Monarch they are at the same
time his enemies: partly because because the quantity of the matter of
depredation seized by them is not adequate to his desires, partly on
account of the vast share be which he finds himself under the necessity of
parting with at and among to them in their case, in consideration of the that part which in fulfilment of
the sinister contract, it
is necessary should be
performed on their part
or th his will could not
be done.
