1822 July 16
Constitut. Code

1. Borough manger subject.
2. Why spoken of as paramount.

§. In a limited or say rather a mixt Monarchy, the Aristocracy are
not in practice co-equal with but dependent on and instruments of the
Monarchy.

In England the Borough-mangers are under the King
not the King under the Borough-mangers.

In England community upon as a The King (it is seen continually has been said) is in a state of subjection
to the Borough-mangers. This
principle custom
The party by whom the notice is adopted is the
party of the people: it is on every occasion assumed, and
argued upon as a principle. In relation to it, two points questions will
here present themselves. 1. Is it correct?: 2. If Correct or incorrect
what is the cause of its currency? to what cause is the use made of it to be attributed.

Question 1. Is it correct true? Answer. It is not untrue. That they the two points act
not in constant union, thus far is true. But whatsoever on each
occasion whatsoever be the course taken by the union, it is by the
will of the King not by that of the the will of any power that
that course is determined: not by the will of any other power whatsoever
be the situation of it, or by what name so ever denominated.

By Borough-mangers are meant the aggregate of the several
individuals by whom the seats in the Commons House are filled.
The cause why this denomination is employed will be mentioned in its place.

What is here assumed is – that the Lords House in its corporate capacity practice is in fact
in a state of subjection to the Commons House. Thus much is
true, manifest and undisputed. [☞ Quere whether to state the process]

What is also assumed is that in a very large proportion
the occupiers of the seats in the Commons House are located
by individuals who have seats in the Lords House. This also
is manifest and undisputed.
